Believe me, Luke and I are sad beyond words every day of our lives that we have to continue recommending people read a blog to learn philosophy and a ton of other things that colleges don't know how to teach yet. We don't particularly enjoy looking crazy to everyone outside of the LW bubble.

One hack for this would be to roll the blogposts into an ebook. A small change in title and presentation can make a big difference in terms of perception.
