Articles longer than, say, 1000 symbols should be prefaced with a tl;dr (kind of like an abstract, but not quite). One fourth into the article and I still don't know what are you talking about.

Approximately:

  • There is a minimum amount of rationality you need to not flunk reason.

  • Humans don't have it by default but I've given it to you now.

  • I'm going to be busy for awhile.

  • Go be rationalists.

I like it :-) but I'd put it slightly differently myself.

  • People who try to advance the art of rationality usually get stuck in dead ends - big, twisty dead ends that you can stay lost in.
  • I've tried to set out how to know whether a given direction is a dead end
  • I'm going to be busy for a while
  • Please use my dead-end detector to improve itself.
