I seem to be alone in this, but I’d say Truly Part of You is far and away the best one-article summary of the site. Unfortunately, it’s not listed as part of the sequences. For me, though, it’s the one that gave me the “click” and made me appreciate rationality on a gut level.
Unfortunately, it’s not listed as part of the sequences.
This seems to demonstrate that ‘sequences’ represents an element of lost purpose. The point of having the sequences compilation and the link to it is not so much to collect posts on a topic that is covered in multiple parts but to compile all the fundamental high quality posts, particularly the early OB ones by Eliezer. Or if not the original purpose of the wiki page then certainly the role that it now takes is not just to collect things that are multi-part.
If you edited that wiki page, perhaps adding an extra category for standalone posts then I would be surprised (and probably disgusted!) if anyone strongly objected. That post belongs there. Particularly since it is part of what was one big sequence. After all in the past the collation has been in the form of a graph based on ‘follow up’ links. And that post has two of them!
