I read posts as a beginner—and thinking about a wider-access book format …
Great writing style—very accessible. Honest and informative. A modern-day explorer of the frontiers of the mind and human experience.
Edit Notes:
1. I’d make this the 1st paragraph: “In recent years, Circling has caught the eye of rationalists… ” include a “WTF is circling?” as a question for a wider audience! and the LW bit isn’t necessary now.
2. Include a definition for inferential distance for ease of reading to newbies.
3. “handy 100-page PDF” is a 404 - no longer found.

“annoyingly Postmodern, yes”—but so f-ing true.
“are you feeling bored? [I invite you to check.]” - anticipatory is the word I’d use … and admirable of your courage to share ;) ….
EDITED 8/1/20. This post was my first exposure to “circling”. I have since learned more about it. My (somewhat) naive view was of an interesting technique to increase self awareness and openness to the mind by sharing—something I’ve experienced amongst friends or trusted strangers at mostly spontaneous times. Honest truth-telling sessions, breakthroughs, revelations, new understandings. - Important in concept, ideas to be aware of but in my mind is not a method/process/system. It is something to do when feels right, safe, ready.
