The Sequence Re-Runs seem to have had little participation, which is disappointing—I had great hope for those.
As someone who is rereading the sequences I think I have a data point as to why. First of all, the “one post a day” is very difficult for me to do. I don’t have time to digest a LW post every day, especially if I’ve got an exam coming up or something. Secondly, I joined the site after the effort started, so I would have had to catch up anyway. Thirdly, ideally I’d like to read at a faster average rate than one per day. But this hasn’t happened at all, my rate has actually been rather slower, which is kind of depressing.
I’ve actually been running a LW sequence liveblog, mostly for my own benefit during the digestive process. See here. I find myself wondering whether others will join me in the liveblogging business sooner or later. I find it a good way to enforce actually thinking about what I am reading.
What I did personally was read through them through relatively quickly. I might not have understood it at the same level of depth but if something is related to something in the sequences then I’ll know and know where I can find the information if there’s anything I’ve forgotten.
