I'd like to share introductory level posts as widely as possible. There are only three with this tag. Can people nominate more of these posts, perhaps messaging the author to encourage them to tag their post "introduction."

We should link to, stumble on, etc. accessible posts as much as possible. The sequences are great, but intimidating for many people.

Added: Are there more refined tags we'd like to use to indicate who the articles are appropriate for?

There are a few scattered posts in Eliezer's sequences which do not, I believe, have strong dependencies (I steal several from the About page, others from Kaj_Sotala's first and second lists) - I separate out the ones which seem like good introductory posts specifically, with a separate list of others I considered but do not think are specifically introductory.

Introductions:

Not introductions, but accessible and cool:

As usual, I'll have to recommend Truly Part of You as an excellent introductory post, given the very little background required, and the high insight per unit length.

Thanks for this list.
