Apropos of nothing: Welcome to LessWrong! (Do I detect a Galileo reference in that handle? Classic!) Feel free to introduce yourself there! If you want some reading, What Do We Mean By Rationality? is a good kicking-off point; that said, we try to link back to related ideas in most of our posts, so you’ll find a lot of cool info just by following overcomingbias.com and lesswrong.com links in comments and posts. If you want to be systematic—or just look for random lists to pick attractive titles off of—you can try the sequences and the top-rated posts.
Yes, I like the role of Simplicio as the guy who asks the dumb questions.
Thanks for the links; I’ve already been gobbling this website down for a week or so, having been put on the scent by Massimo Pigliucci’s. Haven’t seen overcomingbias yet, mind.

Again, many thanks for the bread-salt. :)
