LessWrong a summary since it seems that a lot of people around here know that they're supposed to be good, but don't really understand all the reasons why
I would think that the reasons are fairly well known, what kind of reasons do you think the average person on LW misses?
I can think of a couple of tidbits, e.g. most small random samples of the S&P 500 will underperform the S&P 500 itself because of .
I suggested recently that part of the problem with with LW was a lock of discussion posts which was caused by people not thinking of much to post about.
When I ask myself "what might be a good topic for a post?", my mind goes blank, but surely not everything that's worth saying that's related to rationality has been said.
So, is there something at the back of your mind which might be interesting? A topic which got some discussion in an open thread that could be worth pursuing?
