Welcome, Erin! As Adele said, even if math is not your passion, you can still learn a lot about your own thinking from what Eliezer and others wrote. For a look back by one notable LWer, see http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/03/13/five-years-and-one-week-of-less-wrong/ . Be sure to check out Scott’s other blog entries, they are almost universally eloquently written, well-researched, charitable, insightful and thought-provoking.
Thank you for the link. I’m very pleased to find another source of such interesting ideas. I anticipate the day when I too will read the sequences and be able to say “everything in them seems so obvious.”
