I'm writing a book about Liberalism. I call it Mechanisms of Liberty: The Shortcomings of Modern Liberalism and How to Fix It. 

My main interest is in economic and governance mechanisms, my secondary interest is education, and I'm also interested in other core LW subjects, like rationality, epistemology, ethics, evolution, and cryptography. 

I'm 24yo. I live in Israel. My hobbies include singing, playing guitar and drums, Krav Maga, Dancing (WCS), indoor boulder climbing, Juggling and hiking.

The best essay I wrote is Building Blocks of Politics: An Overview of Selectorate Theory (but my book will be better 😉).

I'm also on Twitter :)

Have the authors or the publishers considered changing the cover design?

House Party Dances

I wonder, what do you think is the best dance or mix of dances to learn to be able to dance with other people no matter which dances they've learned or whether they've learned to dance at all?

I learned some West Coast Swing and really liked it, but I also feel like it kinda requires even the follower to be familiar with it, so it doesn't give me a lot of freedom outside a WCS context.

Nice :) 

While you're at it, maybe make it so when you close the comments from the side it scrolls you back up to the post?

It would be nice if when opening the comments of a post on the frontpage, clicking between comments wouldn't close the post :)

I keep accidentally clicking there, and the post close, and I have to scroll up to open it again, then scroll down to find the comment I was reading.

I had the same reaction to the first version

I initially read the title of the post as

Eliezer and I wrote a book: If Anyone Reads It, Everyone Dies

Quite intimidating!

The quoting policy seems very good and clever :)

I don't think there's a way to resolve it? It will basically always be a prediction on the reliability of the statement.
