Thanks for posting this, it's awesome.

I particularly endorse trying to build things out of your abstract reasoning, as a way of moving knowledge from "head-knowledge" to "fingers-knowledge".

Regarding this sentence: "Remember that if reading X-ist books will predictably move your beliefs toward X, and you know there are X-ist books out there, you should move your beliefs toward X already."

Since I'm irrational (memetic insecure) and persuasive deceptions (memetic rootkits) exist, the sentence needs some qualifier. Maybe: "If you believe that the balance of the unknown arguments favor believing X, then you have reason to believe X."
