I’d love to see the kind of post you’re describing regardless of any overlap with previous posts. If you’re aiming for a basic introduction targeted at non-LWers, I think you have a roughly the right amount of subject matter to make it work. If you’re aiming for a more in-depth analysis, you might want to split the topics up into separate posts.
I think you said it well. I am “aiming for a basic introduction targeted at non-LWers.” This will be my first post on the main site, so I want write something important without it being overwhelming for myself and the reader. So I want to to be short, non-technical, and without LW-vernacular.
I’ve read a lot of Luke’s work, including the post you linked. His work is fantastic and he’s a very big inspiration to me. I think his work is what (in major part) helped led me to this idea.

Luke wrote this post on the history of Bayes’ Theorem, which incorporates some of these ideas.
Thanks for the support, Tetronian!
