PJ Eby (who posts here as pjeby) has written extensively on this topic on his own blog, dirtsimple.org, with a lot of great insights. If someone were to pick the best posts out of it and post links, it would probably lead to great discussions. The main weakness of his writing style is length, so good summaries (proper summaries, not mere quotations) would be very valuable, too.
as I understand, he plans to bring his series to us, having already started
He cross-posted an excellent article between here and his blog (that's how I found his blog in the first place), but hasn't linked to older articles. Perhaps he's influenced by a perceived norm against authors posting links to their own content, as some sites do have such a norm. However, I don't think Less Wrong has such a norm, and if it did, then content written prior to its founding would definitely be exempt.
It's more that my work has advanced tremendously in the last year or so, but my blog hasn't really kept up. And while there's definitely an overlap in target audiences between LW and my blog, that doesn't mean my blog articles are directly appropriate for LW.
So the idea of doing a series here was to do something more aimed at pulling together an explanation of the models I've developed of "the human platform", as it were.
In practice, though, I've realized that if I do posts in the series more often than once every few weeks, I would end up neglecting a lot of professional work (like finishing my next book) that's more important to me than what I'd gain from the LW postings. So, the series here is likely to be rather slow in coming.
