I like the ideas of (1) providing an alternative video introduction, because some people like that stuff, and (2) having the last part of “what to do after reading LessWrong”.
I think the rationality videos should be even linked from the LW starting page. Or even better, the LW starting page should start with a link saying “if you are here for the first time, click here”, which would go to a wiki page, which would contain the links to videos (with small preview images) on the top.
Cheers—yeah, especially for my friends for whom reading a couple of those posts would be a big deal, the talks are very useful. I’ll make a top-level comment on next week’s open thread proposing the idea :)
Added: By the way, as to the ‘post LW’ section, you might’ve noticed that the last post in ‘welcome to Bayesianism’ is a critique of LessWrong as a shiny distraction rather than of actual practical use. I’m hoping the whole thing leads people to be more practically rational and involved in EA and CFAR.
