Great stuff! As someone who’s come to all this Bayes/LessWrong stuff quite late, I was surprised to discover that Scott Alexander’s blog is one of the more popular in the blogosphere, flying the flag for this sort of approach to rationality. I’ve noticed that he’s liked by people on both the Left and the Right, which is a very good thing. He’s a great moderating influence and I think he offers a palatable introduction to a more serious, less biased way of looking at the world, for many people.
