I always felt that the Chapman posts which most directly attacked "LWism" (to the extent that's a thing) consisted only of points that had also appeared in the comments section and in posts on LW itself; didn't expect new converts. Maybe it's the effect of seeing it all together?
It's not exactly that Meaningness told me anything I didn't know. I'd had some experiences and they'd shifted things in me, and Meaningness gave me language and concepts for organizing them. I didn't get anything when I tried reading it before having those experiences.
