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:

• Absence of Evidence is Evidence of Absence
• Feeling Rational
• Taboo Your Words
• Back Up and Ask Whether, Not Why
• Expecting Short Inferential Distances
• Knowing About Biases Can Hurt People
• Burdensome Details
• The Proper Use of Humility
• Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions
• The Bottom Line

Not introductions, but accessible and cool:

• Outside the Laboratory
• Beyond the Reach of God
• Conjunction Controversy
