I guess I felt enough “spiritual alignment” with LessWrong when I first discovered it that the sequences weren’t my entrance point. I just kind of saw what people were talking about, and knew it was a conversation I wanted to participate in. I think that, as core to the community as the sequences are from a historical perspectie, they’re probably not everybody’s touchstone (at least not as much as they were for the “old-timers”).
I’m a bit surprised this came across as a niche subtopic (I feel like it’s covered a bunch in the sequences from different angles)
