I would like to know what do you think it is the probability that we are living in a simulation.
Personally, my guess is that the posibility that we are living in a base reality is only 1 in (Very big number with lot of zeroes).

First of all, Lesswrong is the site where I always put my lasts hope.
I’m having lots of troubles trying to find the truth about IQ test taken by different ethnic groups It seems there are lots of studies claiming differences in IQs. On the other side there is a lot of people saying the contrary (culturally biased tests,..)
What do we do as rationalists? I’m really confused. I have read tons of articles from both sides yet nothing is clear to me.
Sorry, I didn’t expressed correctly. What I’m asking is “what should I believe”?
Any way to find all Eliezer Yudkowsky posts which are not in Rationality: From AI to Zombies? is there a list out there?
ELI5 Posts Series
I would like to start an ELI5 Posts Series. Separated posts tagged ELI5 (Explain like I’m five) about relevant posts in the LW Community.
Examples: ELI5: Belief in Belief. ELI5: Leaky Generalizations. ELI5: Guessing the Teacher’s Password. …
In the comments users try its best to explain the key concepts and insights of each post with ELI5 examples. I think this could be very useful for incoming aspiring rationalists.
Let me know what you think.
The link doesn’t work.
You think like a human because you are a human. Not because this is how an intelligent being thinks.
Just a thought.
Books about human status.
I hope this time it last for ever. Kaj <3
Author of “The Game”, please?
Please, recommend me more books in the line of ‘Metaphors we live by’ and ‘Surfaces and Essences’.
(Please excuse my incorrect english).
When talking about the debate “nurture vs nature” I call it:
Brain hardware + Preloaded Software VS. Compatible Software Installation

Is it there a sort of semantic language code or something similar to write pseudo code when talking about concepts?
Both Lesswrong and Lesserwrong lack an open forum to ask questions. I’ve always felt this is a big limitation since both sites only allow posting essays and links to essays.
A simple forum or subforum which allowed asking questions or posts simple thoughts will improve the overall dynamic.
And no, a weekly ‘open thread‘ is not enough. It is only a little parchment.
This is not an intuitive explanation. Yudkowsky or Connor Moreton explanations are more intuitive.
We need an open forum to post questions, ask for advice and other minor things. An open thread doesn’t feel enough for me.
Could someone convert it to epub, please?
Nice work, Quaerendo!
What is the rss url, please?
The epub version doesn’t work. The file contain errors.
What is exactly status? What is this “thing I feel” when, everything equal, I have the sense that someone has more or less status than me? It must be a sort of neurotransmitters cocktail or what?
Sorry, not native english.
