I would not call this rudimentary! This is excellent. I'll be using this.
Didn't someone also do this for each post in the sequences a while back?
Do you mean the article summaries?
This is cool! Why didn't I stumble upon that earlier?
Actually, I think a decent goal for one who wants to thoroughly learn rationality from the Sequences would be to write several different summaries for each article. For example, it could be 3 summaries per article:
There could also be different techniques of summarizing, e.g. summarizing every paragraph of an original text into a short sentence. Another idea would be to rewrite every article from scratch using own words (this might be too time consuming). Another idea is to summarize multiple articles over the same content “arc” (not necessarily corresponding to a Sequence).
I don't know how cost-effective any of these ideas are.
