I certainly don't assume that any particular reader has read all the sequences (nor that they should). I don't think it's so unreasonable to suggest reading one particular not-so-long post -- whose title might give the game away to a sufficiently quick-witted reader without even needing to follow the link.
This is decreasing your work in commenting by increasing the work for some readers. It would be globally more useful to spend one minute on a better comment like the one Viliam_Bur has posted, than having an unknown number of people read the linked article to understand your point.
Your utility function and opinion may differ though, perhaps your intention was not primarily to get a point across but to make people read the article?
Does anyone know of a good article that illustrates how society is generally irrational, and how making society more rational would have huge benefits, because it'd be a very high level action?
I'm writing an essay about how to improve education, and one of my proposals is that a core part of the curriculum should be rationality. I believe that doing this would have huge benefits to society, and want to explain why I think this, but I'm having trouble. Any thoughts?
Edit: Part of Raising the Sanity Waterline talks about common ways in which people are irrational. However, they're all links to longer Less Wrong articles. Preferably, I'd like to illustrate it in a few sentences/paragraphs.
