One thing that could help new users dive into Less Wrong would be to make some reading recommendations based on reading difficulty. (I'm including some things not hosted on LessWrong.com when they're very LessWrong-ish and written by leading LessWrong authors.) For example:

For everyone

Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
Yudkowsky, Twelve Virtues of Rationality
Yvain, The Worst Argument in the World
Yudkowsky, Reductionism
Lukeprog, How to Beat Procrastination

For those with some math and statistics

Yudkowsky, Technical Explanation of Technical Explanation
Yudkowsky, Timeless Causality
Yudkowsky, Bell's Theorem

For mathgods

Nisan, Formulas of arithmetic that behave like decision agents
Benja, A model of UDT with a concrete prior over logical statements
cousin_it, Bounded versions of Gödel's and Löb's theorems

Now, I ask: What are some of your favorite articles in each of these categories?

The Technical Explanation of Technical Explanation link points to How to Beat Procrastination instead of the intended article.

Fixed.
