Speaking only for myself: Eliezer’s sequences first lured me to Less Wrong, but your posts on decision theory were what convinced me to stick around and keep checking the front page.
I confess I don’t understand all of the math. It’s been decades since I studied mathematics with any rigour; these days I can follow some fairly advanced theory, but have difficulty reproducing it, and cannot in general extend it. I have had nothing substantial to add, and so I haven’t previously commented on one of your posts. Somehow LW didn’t seem like the best place to go all fangirl…
It’s not only the contributors who are following your work on decision theory. I hope you’ll continue to share it with the rest of us.
