I just wanted to say that the presentation is wonderful. It's a refreshing change from the usual posts and I would love to see it continue. In fact you should stop the other posts or let them post them on their own blogs or something. This type of content will make a difference in the world, the other guy is more like a well-researched "top 10 ways to lose weight" type of article and has limited tangible benefit.

More please. This is what lesswrong should be about!

Probably true. Still, I think the number of people who would spend hours of their time reading LW would decrease if they were disallowed from posting. And EY may be too busy now to write posts like this every week.

I think that people keep subscriptions here because of posts like these, and I know that I certainly do not recommend it to others because of the low quality of some of the other authors. However if the content was similar to this then it would be a different story.
