I would like to see sequences of top-level postings which consist of systematic, chapter-by-chapter reviews of books which are of interest to rationalists.
As one example of such a book: Pearl: "Causality"
I like the idea but would perhaps go with a couple of posts on the most significant themes rather than chapter-by-chapter reviews. Or, in the case of chapter-by-chapter reviews not not make it post-per-chapter!
(Chapter by chapter reviews have flopped in the past but perhaps wouldn't have if they were not each presented as top level posts.)
Are there any areas of study that you feel are underrepresented here, and would be interesting and useful to lesswrongers?
I feel some topics are getting old (Omega, drama about moderation policy, a newcomer telling us our lack of admiration for his ideas is proof of groupthink, Friendly AI, Cryonics, Epistemic vs. Instrumental Rationality, lamenting how we're a bunch of self-centered nerds, etc. ...), and with a bit of luck, we might have some lurkers that are knowledgeable about interesting areas, and didn't think they could contribute.
Please stick to one topic per comment, so that highly-upvoted topics stand out more clearly.
