I really like the content in this post and the three following ones, but would prefer them to be in a single post, as length-wise there doesn’t seem to be a reason for them to separate and the transitions interrupt the flow of reading. It also makes me confused about how to upvote them: if I like them all, not upvoting them all feels wrong, but it also feels like it’s awarding triple karma for one article’s worth of content and that feels wrong too. (Fortunately in this case, 3⁄4 of the posts felt like I wanted to upvote them [for a total of 9 karma] and if they had been a single article I might have strong-upvoted it [for a total of 10 karma], so that felt like an acceptable solution.)
Breaking up a single large post into a series of much smaller posts in a sequence is an experiment I’m trying for this sequence, to get some qualitative and quantitative data before I post my much more substantial sequence on overcoming akrasia. This is good feedback. In terms of this particular issue, I think the ideal would be to be able to vote on sequences separately from posts in the sequence.
(Also, there are 5 more small posts in the sequence that go over techniques for each of the rest of the steps in the reconsolidation hierarchy, so I may break your voting scheme :)
