Thanks for the thoughts! I can see why having “self-contained” articles is helpful—and the Sequences definitely are arranged that way.
It had occurred to me to put a few of the essays here, but I’m also considering putting up a personal blog for them—targeted for my friends at school, who are nonrationalists.
Because of that, I’ve found myself writing a few basic essays to go into some core rationalist ideas (before talking about motivation), but they pale in comparison to better-explained articles here.
So I feel a little guilty about writing about both motivation and the core ideas because I don’t feel “worthy”, as I haven’t had too much experience—mainly just anecdotal stuff and introspection.

Every writer was a beginner once, don’t worry, you grow up by trying (and learning from feedback of course, but unless you try there is no feedback).
