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.
