I was reading Dresden Codak, from there read some Kurzweil, then got into an Internet argument with User:Zack_M._Davis who used to live across the hall with me in the dorms, in which he linked me to Eliezer's home page and OB around the time of the split. I followed link trails until I had read most of the sequences.
I was reflecting the other day about how I learned about LessWrong. As best as I can recall/retrace, I learned about LessWrong from gwern, who I met in the #wikipedia IRC channel via an essentially chance meeting. I'm wondering how typical my experience is. How did you come to LessWrong?
EDIT: Optional follow-up question: Do you think that we (the community) are doing enough to bring in new users to LessWrong? If not, what do you think could be done to increase awareness of LessWrong amongst potential rationalists?
