Low-Commitment Less Wrong Book (EG Article) Club

I'm seeing this about two years after you posted it, but I wanted to express my interest. If you are still running this (or something similar), please let me know.

So I think I spent too much time thinking about the name, but, in the end I think it works well to have something simple and short that gets the basic idea across, with more details given in the post body/tag description. 

I think "Less Wrong for EA" accomplishes this. Each post title can be of the format "LW4EA: Post Title from Less Wrong" and the tag "Less Wrong for EA" isn't overly long either.

Below is what I plan to write in the post body (I will also edit/rewrite the tag). I would love any feedback.

This link post is part of Less Wrong for EA, a Less Wrong repost & low-commitment discussion group (inspired by this comment). Each week I will revive an EA-relevant post from the Less Wrong Archives, more or less at random, from a list I started from the comments here (additional suggestions welcome via PM or in the comments).

Please feel free to,

• Discuss in the comments
• Subscribe to the Less Wrong for EA tag to be notified of future posts
• Tag other Less Wrong reposts with Less Wrong for EA.

Initially, I talked about hosting Zoom discussion for those that were interested, but I think it’s a bit more than I can take on right now (not so low-commitment). If anyone wants to organize one, comment or PM me and I will be happy to coordinate for future posts.

I was just wondering about the existence of such a project.  Fantastic that you're taking initiative! There are many old posts  still holding contemporary relevance that might benefit from such "revivals". Suggestions: 

• Maybe a title like "LW Post (Revival) Club" might be more accessible? 
• You could also think of connecting this to the book club/s to gain more traction there, since this represents a large overlap and is essentially the main target audience.
• This seems obvious, but putting an 80/20 effort into some promotion might really be worth it/a deciding factor for this project's success or failure (e.g. putting it up on the EA newsletter) 

My current plan is (see main post)

Also interested, and I like the idea of link-posting with comments! Very low-energy and hopefully can allow more people to get involved and expose people to new ideas over time. 

I'd be up for the reading and comment writing part (will see if it works out time-wise), probably not so much for zoom. Nice idea and thanks for taking the initiative!

I would be interested. I am part of an EA The Precipice reading group right now, but going forward I would enjoy some conversations around some other books/ideas. I am all about the low commitment in life. 

I'm interested as well, for participating or helping with organization. 

Idea when project is up to speed; if multiple groups are operating at the same time, have a central theme that all each group focuses on and at the end of a "sequence" of these a larger article could be written on the collective insights developed. Something along those lines.

I would also be interested. I haven't read very many LW articles and I don't know very many people here, so it would be nice to get caught up in the context of a discussion.

First post is here.

I believe I've converted this to a normal post - please let me know if you see any issues.
