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

@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.

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
