Interested. I can commit to reading at least 1 essay. I'll most likely get back to you with feedback within a week of you sending it over.

I may also be able to read the other 9, but I'm not sure about the timescale.

I normally am nervous about doing anything vaguely resembling making a commitment, but my curiosity is getting the better of me. Are you still looking for beta readers?

Maybe the title needed to say what the beta readers would be fit and the post text should have some excerpts.

Not sure if a question is quite the right format for this request, but anyway, I've written a bunch of essays that attempt to distill a bunch of research about economics and neuroscience. I think they could work as a sequence format, but I've never written one before. So I'm hoping for a couple of beta readers to read the first ten or so essays and provide some feedback in terms of culture fit and the frequency with which it might be advisable to post them—once a day, once every other day, once a week?—along with more general stuff about how coherent the exposition is, whether the subject matter seems interesting etc. 

In particular, looking for beta readers to answer three questions: 

  1. Whether you would want to keep reading these essays (and how frequently).
  2. Whether you would want to be reading them on LessWrong.
  3. Whether the exposition makes much sense.

If you'd like to help me out, leave a comment or message me, and I can either send you drafts in the Lesswrong editor or a google doc, whatever you prefer. The ten essays total 10174 words. There's no rush on this, but I hope to get feedback in a common-sense "reasonable" amount of time, even if that feedback is "I couldn't get past the third essay, sorry."

Appreciate it!
