I’ll go in temporal order, though in contrast to Gordon’s comment, I believe the later ones are more interesting because I got better at asking the right questions.
1: Memetics
2: Bayesian thinking
3: Asking “what do you think you know and how do you think you know it?”
4: Algorithmic information theory—Kolmogorov complexity, Solomonoff induction, AIXI
5: The recursion, fixed-point, and parameter theorems
6: Deliberating on actions causes epistemic problems for prediction (unrealizability problems for 2,4)
