There's nothing to "implement" in the sequences. They're philosophical blog posts.

OTOH, I guess you could find something to implement from any text if you thought hard enough. But I don't think the sequences straightforwardly mandate any particular way of life or something to implement.

(I've been editing this comment after posting it, sorry for confusion.)

The number of people on this site striving to become more rational, with the sequences as a foundation, suggests otherwise.

I'm going to start having kids in a few years. I have my eye of some of the sequenences - such as Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions. I need to find a way to distill this stuff down, so I can teach it to my children.
