I've been working on an introductory set of posts for a (religious) friend and Hpmor fan. I've been trying to find the posts that explain the various parts of the LW philosophy best, and I've come up with this.

I'd just like to comment a little on which posts I selected, and then recommend for the ebook.

I think zen-like little pieces are nice to start with, like the Twelve Virtues and The Simple Truth, but I think that the Simple Truth requires as either a pre-req or an immediate following by 'The Useful Idea of Truth', to make people see the meaning of the former, otherwise it can be lost entirely. I think f Useful was edited slightly it could fit into the ebook well enough on its own. Also the Map and Territory and Appreciating Cognitive Agorothms from HAE101FB I think are great to introduce core ideas.

I think the inferential distances should be in, so the reader realises things can take time to explain. Also, posts on Curiosity are very useful near the beginning, to give the reader a care for the truth after they later perhaps read something they disagree with.

I'd like to see all the ones that have been referenced over six times added, and also Conjunction Fallacy, Lawful Creativity and Illusion of Transparency.

Cheers. Hope there's an opportunity to get it as two or three physical volumes.
