    People who publish things online (blogs, videos, papers, articles, etc.): What’s the most important piece you’ve published? “Most important” = in your estimation. Don’t think too hard about it. But please stick to just one.

        This is my favorite answer of what I’ve read so far. Btw, y’all should follow @everytstudies for consistently great meta-level analyses like this. https://twitter.com/everytstudies/status/1001896882405339138?s=21 …pic.twitter.com/r3AqNFOi2R

        I'm not not a good writer, but it's worth reading this as an empirical data point (~700 words):https://www.reddit.com/r/CerebralPalsy/comments/765v65/the_fasting_mimicking_diet_has_helped_my_cere …

        Thanks. So glad to hear about your success! I'm on a special diet for Crohn's disease, and generally think diets are underexplored as therapies for chronic conditions.

        Cool. This reminds me of W. W. Bartley III's "The Retreat to Commitment" — one of my favorite books (but pretty obscure). It's kind of like a book-length version of your post: a rejection of the "tu quoque" argument against rationalism.

        ooh, thanks for some other suggestions for how to use Anki! I wish I was more into math these days, because Anki seems so perfect for it =/

        I really have no idea, which tells me I don’t understand the word ‘important’

        Difficult question... but *most important* is probably this one about how discourse works.http://www.everythingstudies.com/wordy-weapons-of-is-ought-alloy …

        That was sublime. I’ve had a similar post brewing in my queue for a while, but yours is better than mine would have been. Wish it had some diagrams though :)

    Loading seems to be taking a while.
