Agree that the article has serious structure and style problems, but a quick check at Wikipedia confirms that DI seems to be approximately as awesome as you say it is, and the biases of the educational establishment certainly seem worth investigating. Upvoted.
I agree it has serious problems. I knew that when I posted it! I just thought the harder bits of content studded here and there would anchor the rest better until people got a better idea what I was talking about from their own research. Clearly I made some miscalculations.
Do you think the notes I added to the beginning as a replacement are a good start at straightening out the mess of confusion I've made?
ADD-ON: Are this comment and this comment helpful? (Reading those as a conversation with FiftyTwo, I mean).
Oh, and by the way, I wanted to tell you that your post on "dissolving diseased questions" holds a special place in my heart. I found it soon after finding LessWrong itself (through HPMOR, through David Brin's blog), and it was just wonderful, the feeling of, "There are other people in the world who think like this! And understand it better than I do, so not only can I communicate with them, I can learn from them!"
So, uh, yeah. Thanks =]
