Could you say something about your methods of deciding originality and significance? One of the problems with figuring something like this out is that LW and mainstream academia often use significantly different jargon. It may be that LW will be unhelpful here because in order to work out what’s original and significant, you’d have to be an expert both in LW stuff and in mainstream academic discussions.
Are you going to put on the Free Will sequence? And other important contributions from the sequences, like the reductionism post and dissolving the question (and Zombies too!)? (They’re pretty important to philosophy.)
“I would help, but I suck at researching papers to compare LW stuff with mainstream science, so I can’t really do much.”
Unfortunately, I might also want to post that (for mostly status reasons) if I wouldn’t help, which makes the information content near-zero and qualifies as noise.
Unless it’s a meta post explaining why I wasn’t posting and that I think many other users might judge themselves unable to help.
No help from LW whatsoever? I was at least expecting people to mention the obvious stuff, like Eliezer’s free wlil sequence. :(

Eventually; I’ll probably get a remote researcher to help me fill out the list, later.
