Please don't assume that every reader has read all the sequences or has the time to do so just to understand your comment.
A particular post was linked. The implied requirement of having to "read all the sequences" is an extreme distortion of the issue that makes your remark seem more relevant.
You're right. "Has read a majority of the sequences so that there is a high probability that this specific sequence is among them" would have been more precise.
While it was an exaggeration "extreme distortion" seems like a harsh judgement.
Edit: oh sorry - I i didn't mean to imply all the sequences are necessary for understanding. I'll fix the sentence.
Does anyone know of a good article that illustrates how society is generally irrational, and how making society more rational would have huge benefits, because it'd be a very high level action?
I'm writing an essay about how to improve education, and one of my proposals is that a core part of the curriculum should be rationality. I believe that doing this would have huge benefits to society, and want to explain why I think this, but I'm having trouble. Any thoughts?
Edit: Part of Raising the Sanity Waterline talks about common ways in which people are irrational. However, they're all links to longer Less Wrong articles. Preferably, I'd like to illustrate it in a few sentences/paragraphs.
