At this point it is traditional (and sensible) to point a newcomer to the Sequences, and equally traditional (and necessary) to admit the size of the great pile of writing that one is offering, and to suggest a few especially relevant articles.
The ones that seem to me most relevant to the issues you are raising are the very first sequence, Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions, and in particular the first two articles in that sequence: Making Beliefs Pay Rent and Belief in Belief.
Or for a lighter but more time-consuming introduction to what we're all about here, Eliezer's Harry Potter fanfic.
How did you come here, btw?
Is there a sequential dump of the entirety of the sequences as one file anywhere? Text or HTML preferably.
Not that I know of, although I expect a programming whiz could scrape the web site easily enough. Eliezer is writing a book version, but I don't know the intended timescale.
