Concise. The post briefly sums up the fields and directions where rationality have been developed on the site, then asks for users to lists the big open questions that are still left to answer.
The post is mostly useful to 1) people wishing to continue their training in rationality after they went through the recommendations and are looking for what they should do next and 2) continue the conversation on how to improve rationality systematically. The post itself lists a few of the fields that have been developed and are being developed, in the answers there are several open questions left to explore.
The post improved the list I made of what I should study in the future to further improve my understanding of rationality.
It seems to be accurate, the user that wrote it is focused on organising the LessWrong site, with many years of activity and an extremely high karma. Many high-karma answers from “reliable” users also suggests the post has good informations, both in the question and in the answers.
The claims on Forecasting and Behavioral Economics having been developing fields on LessWrong fit with what I saw on the site. I plan to read “How to Measure Anything” which the user claims to be a good book to test how useful its recommendations are, but don’t have the time to do so now.
An edit or a followup post listing the open problems of rationality that most answers agreed on (also considering the answers’ karma) would be useful. If this has been done, the post lacks a link to it.
