Maybe a list of all material Eliezer recommended ever would be useful. It wouldn’t do much for insularity, but at least we could start asking people to read actual books and articles not included in the sequences.
And yes I do agree people should “read the sequences”. I try to promote this with frequent linking to the specific articles, hopefully setting up tab explosions, but I fear I may have just contributed to overuse of titles as phrases.
That sounds great! I recall someone asking for interesting rationality related blogs. A main article that summarizes all book recommendations in the sequences (yes there are writers besides Eliezer), HPMOR as well as a short summary of all those blogs should be a good first step towards solving this.
It should also include the rational why we should read them would be a good start to solving much of this.
Perhaps we could after that is published hold 3 month challenge to find the best concept from such material that LessWrong should update on but hasn’t.

I actually started on a list of all the rationality references in HPMoR as a project. I’m somewhere around Chapter 40 but haven’t worked on it in a while.
