Posts which (we theorize) are good to show to new users, to get them excited about rationality. Posts listed here should be high-quality classics, should be accessible without having previously read the Sequences or anything else on LessWrong, and should somehow convince a certain sort of reader that rationality is important, and they want to read more about it. A good motivational intro post might argue the value of rationality directly, or it might point out a reasoning flaw which people recognize strongly in themselves, or it might introduce a rationality concept which is particularly sticky.
This tag will be treated as a special case in recommendations, and is marked admin-only so it isn't displayed on posts and doesn't appear in search results when adding tags from a post page. Technically, non-admins can apply this to posts from this tag page, but please use this tag's Discussion page instead if you want to nominate posts.
