I don’t actually expect you to get the best feedback by pinging the Discussion board. In addition to reading your content, I’ve probably interacted with you in person more than most of LW, and I’m still not sure I am qualified to deliver the kind of feedback you’d actually find useful.
It doesn’t hurt to ask, of course. But the best feedback I’ve ever gotten was from people who interact with me daily; people that see me at my worst, see the behavior patterns I’m blind to, and see the inconsistencies in my reactions to different situations and people.
LW will offer laser-focused feedback on your intellectual views, perhaps. But if you want to hear difficult truths that will really help you, it seems like you should turn to those closest to you.
One danger is that you reach out for feedback like this, receive only minor recommendations, and then subconsciously feel as though you’ve made the motions necessary to be justified in thinking that you’re on the right track. I don’t expect that this is what you’re doing, but I’ve made simpler mistakes before.
