Here are some, based mainly on a search for which ones I've linked to before:

Beware the Inside View

On Liberty vs. Efficiency

Distinguish Info, Analysis, Belief, Action

Further Than Africa

Two Types of People (foragers and farmers)

Policy Tug-O-War

And, since I think he published better writings outside of his blog, here's a longer list of those:

Shall We Vote on Values, But Bet on Beliefs?

How YOU Do Not Tell the Truth: Academic Disagreement as Self-Deception

He Who Pays The Piper Must Know The Tune

Burning the Cosmic Commons: Evolutionary Strategies for Interstellar Colonization

Long-Term Growth As A Sequence of Exponential Modes

Economic Growth Given Machine Intelligence

Two posts I think about commonly are A Tale of Two Tradeoffs and This Is The Dream Time.

Others I see on the top voted list that I remember finding valuable include Politics Isn't About Policy, Stories Are Like Religion, Inequality Talk Is About Grabbing, What We Should Study, and Beware Star Academia.

But there are literally 1000+ posts, and I'd like to (as I think I've mention to you ricraz) organise a subset of them into a more readable ordering sometime.

I hadn't read "Beware Star Academia" before and it was quite an interesting concept.

This perhaps points a bit towards separate questions of "what are the best intro to Hanson posts" and "what are the best Hanson posts you might have missed if you only read the highlights?"
