I'm surprised this post hasn't become more popular!

Eliezer's quote seems important:

In one sense, a whole chunk of Less Wrong is more or less my meta-thinking skills.

I think that this quote delivers a strong conceptual unification of various teachings and techniques on LW.

I also think that an investigation of the questions I raised might have high instrumental value.

Is there something I'm missing? Do people already have an understanding of these issues? Alternatively, do people have good reason to believe that this discussion will be fruitless?
