After trying to read No License To Be Human I officially give up reading the sequences for now and postpone it until I learnt a lot more. I think it is wrong to suggest that anyone can read the sequences. Either you’ve to be a prodigy or a post-graduate. The second comment on that post expresses my own feelings, can people actually follow Yudkowsky’s posts? It’s over my head.
I agree with you sentiment, but I suggest not giving up so easily. I have the same feeling after many sequence posts, but some of them that I groked were real gems and seriously affected my thinking.
Also, borrowing some advice on reading hard papers, it’s re-reading that makes a difference.
Also, as my coach put it “the best stretching for doing sidekicks is actually doing sidekicks”.
