This post is part of the Rerunning the Sequences series, where we'll be going through Eliezer Yudkowsky's old posts in order so that people who are interested can (re-)read and discuss them. The previous post was The Robbers Cave Experiment, and you can use the sequence_reruns tag or rss feed to follow the rest of the series.
