I found Less Wrong through “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality” like many others. I started reading more of Eliezer Yudkowsky’s work a few months ago and was completely floored. I now recommend his writing to other people at the slightest provocation, which is new for me. Like others, I’m a bit scared by how thoroughly I agree with almost everything he says, and I make a conscious effort not to agree with things just because he’s said them. I decided to go ahead and join in hopes that it would motivate me to start doing more active thinking of my own.
Hello everyone,
I found Less Wrong through “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality” like many others. I started reading more of Eliezer Yudkowsky’s work a few months ago and was completely floored. I now recommend his writing to other people at the slightest provocation, which is new for me. Like others, I’m a bit scared by how thoroughly I agree with almost everything he says, and I make a conscious effort not to agree with things just because he’s said them. I decided to go ahead and join in hopes that it would motivate me to start doing more active thinking of my own.
