I want to take over the role of organizing these reading groups. I think you've done a great job with structure and format, and I don't think I'll make major changes. I will include the conclusion at the end which encourages people to engage the most important part of the reading group, which is discussion with others (in the comments). I'll also include the date at which the next post is scheduled to go up. Like yourself, if I could think of countervailing views to a sequence which is controversial, I'll include it, but I might do so in the comments section rather than in the main post itself. In my summaries of Mr. Yudkowsky's various essays, I may include thought-provoking or discussion questions in the main part of the post itself. I'll continue the schedule of posting every two weeks, but it may delay to catch up and generate the third summary, which is something I can do by next Wednesday, if not earlier. From there, I'll continue to post a new one every two weeks, as you have been doing.

Let's do it next Wednesday and continue once in 2 weeks. Sticking to plan is better than trying to over-optimize.

Also, just in case: beware of planning fallacy.

Yeah, Mark seems like he's gone now, so I guess we can just take it over...
