Been reading Less Wrong religiously for about 6 months, but still definitely in the consume, not contribute phase.
It feels like Less Wrong has pretty dramatically changed my life. I’m doing pretty well with overcoming Akrasia (or at least identifying it where I haven’t yet overcome it). I’m also significantly happier all round, understanding decisions I make and most importantly exercising my ability to control these decisions. I’m doing a lot of things I would have avoided before just because I realise that my reasons for avoiding them were not rational. My boundaries are much more sensible now and getting better weekly. Still a work in progress, but I’m incredibly happy with where things are going.
So, a big thanks to everyone who contributes here. Can’t thank you enough :)
