A whole team effort, LW just launched a new page for viewing the winning posts of our community annual review process. Humorously titled "The LeastWrong", all the winning posts get some gorgeous art, and a cool interface for exploring them. lesswrong.com/leastwrong

"Stop lurking; write that comment. You know the saying about letting people suspect you’re dumb rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt? Fuck that. We know you’re dumb. You get less dumb by saying things and getting feedback." via @lesswrong

@lesswrong books came! Epigraph, Book 1:
If the box contains a diamond, I desire to believe that the box contains a diamond; If the box does not contain a diamond, I desire to believe that the box does not contain a diamond; Let me not become attached to beliefs I may not want.

Best way to end a debate:
"That's a very intelligent argument. But I have a crushing reply to your argument, such that, once I deliver it, you will at once give up further debate with me on this particular point. You're right!"

My favs from @lesswrong's 100 tips for a better life:
1) Success 💫
• The best advice is personal/comes from somebody who knows you well
• How you spend your days is how you spend your life
• Discipline > motivation. The former can be trained, the latter is fleeting
