First post in this sequence that lives up to the standard of the old classics. Love it.
Yeah, but I've found the previous posts much more useful for coming up with clear explanations aimed at non-LWers, and I presume they'd make a better introduction to some of the core LW epistemic rationality than just throwing "The Simple Truth" at them.
It's a pretty hard balance to strike that's probably different for everyone, between incomprehensibility and boringness.
I already more-or-less knew most of the stuff in the previous posts in this sequences and still didn't find them boring.
Agree. When I first read The Simple Truth, I thought Eliezer was endorsing pragmatism over correspondence.
I'm still wondering what The Simple Truth is about. My best guess is that it is a critique of instrawmantalism.
In my opinion, Causal Diagrams and Causal Models is far superior to Timeless Causality.
I am not saying that there is anything wrong with "Timeless Causality", or any of Eliezer's old posts, but this sequence goes into enough depth of explanation that even someone who has not read the older sequences on Less Wrong would have a good chance of understanding it.
