The most important and useful thing I learned from your OB posts, Eliezer, is probably the mind-projection fallacy: the knowledge that the adjective "probable" and the adverb "probably" always makes an implicit reference to an agent (usually the speaker).

Honorable mention: the fact that there is no learning without (inductive) bias.
