I’d prefer more posts that aim to teach something the author knows a lot about, as opposed to an insight somebody just thought of. Even something less immediately related to rationality—I’d love, say, posts on science, or how-to posts, at the epistemic standard of LessWrong.
… so here’s the place to float ideas around: is there an area you know a lot about? A topic you’ve been considering writing about? Here’s the place to mention it!
What can you teach us?

From a poll on what people want to see more of, the most votes went to:
Statistics
Game Theory
Direct advice for young people
General cognitive enhancing tools (such as Adderall and N-Back)
Information Theory
Economics
Some that got less votes:
Data visualization
(Defence against the) Dark Arts
Moral Philosophy (looks like that’s being done already)
Postmodernism
Getting along in an irrational world
Existential risks
Medicine, Applied Human Biology
… but there are certainly many more things that would be interesting and useful to the community. So what can you teach us?
