Open Threads are informal discussion areas, where users are welcome to post comments that didn’t quite feel big enough to warrant a top-level post, nor fit in other posts.
Sometimes an Open Thread focuses on a specific topic. The most common Open Threads are the monthly Open and Welcome Threads, which serve as a general focal point of discussion, as well as a place for new users to introduce themselves.
Note: if a post is in the AI Questions Open Thread series, it should get that tag instead of this one.
I started reading the sequences so that I could make better decisions at work. I just finished book 1C (Noticing Confusion) and a lot of the essays are over my head. I usually only understand bits and pieces of what is being said. Is this common? Are there parts of the sequences where it’s OK if I don’t understand it, but others I must grasp?
Hello!
I work as a football coach and I am welcoming more rationality in this field. Now, there is basically only subjectivity, feelings and emotions.
I will read up on and try to implement this into the football world.
Thanks,
Alexander
Goodmorning lesswrong community,
I have been a visitor to the site for about 6mths now, and felt it was time to step forward and introduce myself. I am a single mother of 4 from Canada. I am not very educated but still consider myself to be an intellectual with a thirst and hunger for knowledge and greater understanding of the world, and the challenges we face. I believe I bring a unique perspective and many interesting theories to a variety of topics. I look forward to learning from you all and hope to cultivate my public writing ability. Thank you all for contributing in creating such a great discussion space.
