Thank you. Is the style ok?
The style was fine - the spelling/grammar mistakes were the only things I noticed. Excusable, given it's not your native language. I would move the disclaimer about it being a non-native language to the top though, in future posts you make, as it removes my inclination to dismiss what you're saying as something someone didn't put the time in to edit. I had such an inclination until I read the end.
Sounds plausible. Ultimately I want to be proficient enough to forego such notice but in the meantime I will have to follow your advice. It would make the article nicer in that the disclaimer would not be split in two parts.
The style is remarkably good for someone who isn't a native speaker. One spelling mistake I did catch:
The word should be spelled "beliefs", not "believes". "Believes" is the third person present tense, as in "Eliezer Yudkowsky believes that people should be more rational."
I would be unable to tell that you weren't a native speaker upon cursory reading, if you didn't mention it.
