I discovered the blog by chance, following some link (I really don’t remember the original source) to the QM section. I was interested in the foundations of QM at the time, and at some point Eliezer’s sequence popped up. Since the blog posts were infested by links to other blog posts, I quickly found myself reading all the Sequences, then the other top level posts, then the discussions and then… I joined the community.
Do you think that we (the community) are doing enough to bring in new users to LessWrong? If not, what do you think could be done to increase awareness of LessWrong amongst potential rationalists?
I’m inclined to say no to the first one. I stumbled upon the site almost by chance, and could have easily completely missed it. I honestly don’t know what to answer to the second.
