One thing I’ve been thinking for a while is that we need a better system handling recommendations. Beyond rationality, a big part of your success in life is how good you are at a bunch of different concrete skills. We can have some posts about these on LW, but at the end of the day, most of the best resources will be offsite.
So this is an important problem and is a thread with upvotes really the best solution available?
That said, I really don’t know what else to propose. Maybe a trust graph that allows you to indicate if you trust anyone in particular or an AI that learns from your ratings?

This is really great! I am heavily in favor of reference posts that include people’s personal opinions.
Agreed!
