The sequences need a summary like the one you just wrote, the way books have a summary on the cover. Maybe this should be taken as a hint that you’d get more mileage out of the sequences with a really good description placed prominently in front of them. That could quickly re-frame non-originality claims as being irrelevant by plainly stating that they’re an accessible and entertaining way to learn about logic and bias (implying that the presentation is valuable even if some of the content can be found elsewhere), with (whatever amount) of new content on X, Y, Z topics. If you choose to write such a description, I’d really like to know what you got out of them that your philosophy and psychology degrees didn’t give you.
The sequences need a second edition. It’s sheer hubris to think that nothing has changed in four years.
There would be room for improvement even without anything changing. They were produced as daily blog posts for the purpose of forcing Eliezer to get his thoughts down on a page.
