What about comparing LessWrong with an undergraduate “intro to philosophy” class?
I would describe the body of philosophy classes I took in college as far lesser in worth compared to reading the contents of Less Wrong, but with the caveat that if I had been in a position where an “intro to philosophy class” was teaching me much that I didn’t already know, it’s likely that I wouldn’t have been ready to start absorbing the contents of Less Wrong.
