The philosophy and fiction have been fun (though they hardly pay my bills).
I’ve profited from reading well-researched posts on the state of evidence-based (social-) psychology / nutrition / motivation / drugs, mostly from you, Yvain, Anna, gwern, and EY (and probably a dozen others whose names aren’t available).
The bias/rationality stuff was fun to think but “ugh fields”, for me at least, turned out to be the only thing that mattered. I imagine that’s different for other types of people, though.
Additionally, the whole project seems to have connected people who didn’t belong to any meaningful communities (thinking of various regional meetup clusters).
