I don't have any catchy titles for it; 'How an evolutionist takes drugs'? 'Evolution's Excellent Encyclopedia of Enhancements'? 'Nick Bostrom's Favorite Nootropics'? 'Nootropics and You and Your Ancestors'? 'Heuristics & Huperzines'? They're all so silly.
(And there are already a lot of upvotes on my first comment, so I guess I'll let it stand.)
Less Wrong is a large community of very smart people with a wide spectrum of expertise, and I think relatively little of that value has been tapped.
Like my post The Best Textbooks on Every Subject, this is meant to be a community-driven post. The first goal is to identify topics the Less Wrong community would like to read more about. The second goal is to encourage Less Wrongers to write on those topics. (Respecting, of course, the implicit and fuzzy guidelines for what should be posted to Less Wrong.)
One problem is that those with expertise on a subject don't necessarily feel competent to write a front-page post on it. If that's the case, please comment here explaining that you might be able to write one of the requested posts, but you'd like a writing collaborator. We'll try to find you one.
