Maybe you're just not rational enough to be shown that content? I see like 10 posts there.
MIRI has invented a proprietary algorithm that uses the third derivative of your mouse cursor position and click speed to predict your calibration curve, IQ and whether you would one-box on Newcomb's problem with a correlation of 95%. LW mods have recently combined those into an overall rationality quotient which the site uses to decide what level of secret rationality knowledge you are permitted to see.
Maybe you should do some debiasing, practice being well-calibrated, read the sequences and try again later?
EDIT: Some people seem to be missing that this is intended as humor ............
Flinter has been banned after a private warning. I'm deleting the comment thread that led to the ban because it's an inordinate number of comments cluttering up a welcome thread.
Users are reminded that responding to extremely low-quality users creates more extremely low quality comments, and extended attempts to elicit positive communication almost never work. Give up after a third comment, and probably by your second.
From Flinter's comment:
The mod insulted me, and Nash.
While I respect your decision as a moderator to ban Flinter, insulting Nash is a horrible thing to do and you should be ashamed of yourself!
/ just kidding
Also, someone needs to quickly make a screenshot of the deleted comment threads, and post them as new LW controversy on RationalWiki, so that people all around the world are properly warned that LW is pseudoscientific and disrespects Nash!
/ still kidding, but if someone really does it, I want to have a public record that I had this idea first
Is there a simple coding trick to allow this blockchain micropayment scheme into Reddit based sites ?
This seems like a interesting way to get folks to write deeper and more thoughtful articles, by motivating them with some solid reward. And if something does go viral, it can allow some monetization without resorting to ad-based sites....
BTW, there was a link to simple markdown on Github in there
Another math problem:

I wanted to make a discussion post about this but apparently I need 2 karma points and this forum is too ignorant to give them out. I'll post here and I guess probably be done with this place since its not even possible for me to attempt to engage in meaningful discussion. I'd also like to make the conjecture that this place cannot be based on rationality with the rule sets that are in place for joining-and I don't understand why that isn't obvious.
Anyways, here is what would have been my article for discussion:
"I am not perfectly sure how this site...
Was reminded to say hello here!
I'm Jacob Liechty, with a new account after using a less active pseudonym for a while. I've been somewhat active around the rationality community and know a bunch of people therein and throughout. Rationalism and its writings had a pretty deep impact on my life about 5 years ago, and I haven't been able to shake it since.
I currently make video games for a living, but will be keeping my finger to the pulse to determine when to move into more general tech startups, some sort of full time philanthropy, maybe start an EA nonprofi...
I heard Britain just passed a Robotic Rights Act, but only in passing, and can't find anything on it in search, except the original paper by the U.K. Office of Science and Innovation's Horizon Scanning Centre.
"However, it warned that robots could sue for their rights if these were denied to them.
Should they prove successful, the paper said, "states will be obligated to provide full social benefits to them including income support, housing and possibly robo health care to fix the machines over time.""
not to mention slavery, international...
How would we go about changing human behavior to be more aligned with reality? I was thinking it is undoubtedly the most effective thing to do. Ensure world domination of rationalist, effective altruist and utilitarian ideas. There are two parts to this, I simply mention R, EA and U because it resonates very well here with the types of users here and alignment with reality I explain next. How I expect alignment to reality to be, is accepting facts fully. For example, thinking and emotionally, this includes uncertainty of facts (because of facts like an int...
