I'd like to see less about the application of rationality to various different everyday life skills (which usually end up being bad self-help), less navel-gazing about how great we are and how great rationality is, fewer gimmicks, and more attempt to dissolve confusions. explain previously puzzling things, and point out logical pitfalls that one might otherwise fall into. This is what Eliezer did so well in the Sequences, and I can't believe that there aren't any good problems left to cover.
