The new sequence is very good and I have been able to put a couple of them to immediate use. I had the following series of thoughts when reading this piece:
1) This sequence appears less timeless than Rationality: A-Z, because that was addressed to everyone and this looks addressed to the current community.
2) Is it really targeted at the community specifically, or should I expect Modest Epistemology to be a common local maxima in the pursuit of clear thinking? If the latter, then the first feeling was wrong.
3) To what extent does the community represent a local maxima or plateau? If I think a lot of other individuals will go through the same sort of progression, there may be overlap.
I realize the goal is for the community to be a special case of general pursuit of rationality, but it has been a minute since I thought about it as a whole. This is a another mark in favor of the sequence.
