Apropos my comment here, what do you guys think of making The Simple Math of Everything a reality?
The LW community probably has a diverse enough group of scholars to cover most of the major fields, and if not, we all have contacts. Splitting it up into sections for different individuals to write would make the project much easier to complete, provided someone is coordinating everything. What do you guys think?
Write a call for top-level-post essays as a top-level post, stating clearly what kind of articles you see in such a collection, and see if enough accumulates for an edited volume (I think it's unrealistic at this point).
I have always liked this idea. Could it be done on the Less Wrong wiki?
Instead of writing a collection of articles, could we just put together a collection of links? It couldn't be sold, but it would be ready a lot sooner.
Something like this?
I like this idea, actually. I'm sure there's already a lot of great material out there, we just need to put it together.
Agreed as well, I always thought this was a great idea.
An edited volume might be overly ambitious, but I think a wikibook could be a feasible.
Another way to test the waters is to write a top level post calling for suggestions on topics or format. If there's enough interest, put out a call for essays accompanied by a brief style guide.
We'll have to make sure to ask Kalid Azad to participate.
