  • Maths, Decision Theory, Game theory
  • Meetups
  • General-interest discussion (biased towards the interests of atheist nerds)

For unspecified levels of meta. :P

I would remove meetups, as that isn't really LW content as such.

It would be good to have it in a separate category, though, so you could disappear it from the front page.

I'd subdivide Lifehacks into:

  • debiasing lifehacks - practical ways to subvert/avoid cognitive biases (CoZE exercises, Monday-Tuesday game, etc)
  • non-epistemological lifehacks - domain specific clever ideas (frameworks for chore negotiation, investment strategies, etc)

epistemical lifehacks;
general instrumental lifehacks (e.g. how to overcome procrastination);
specific instrumental lifehacks (domain-specific)
