The chapters that I've recommended, as being most important & relevant for the purpose of improving human thinking, are 1, 2, 6, 9, 14, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 29, 40.
Interestingly, the overlap between my recommendations and So8res's seems to be at chance levels; apparently our standards are uncorrelated.
Note that my chapter list was geared towards the LW community and people already familiar with the sequences. I should have made that more explicit. My list had the chapters that surprised me most / taught me something new. I would have put forth a very different list if I was ordering them by usefulness to newcomers. I assumed that the community is already familiar with conjunction bais, the affect heuristic, the anchoring effect, and the other big names.
I may be suffering from false consensus; I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts.
