Seconded. I, for one, would be perfectly OK with posts requiring a lot of unfamiliar background math as long as they’re correct and give references. For example, Scott Aaronson isn’t afraid of scary topics and I’m not afraid of using his posts as entry points into the maze.
For that matter, I’m sure someone else would be willing to write a sequence on decision theory to ensure everyone has the required background knowledge. This might work even better if Eliezer suggested some topics to be covered in the sequence so that the background was more specific.
In fact, I would happily do that and I’m sure others would too.
