If it’s worth saying, but not worth its own post, here's a place to put it.
If you are new to LessWrong, here's the place to introduce yourself. Personal stories, anecdotes, or just general comments on how you found us and what you hope to get from the site and community are invited. This is also the place to discuss feature requests and other ideas you have for the site, if you don't want to write a full top-level post.
If you're new to the community, you can start reading the Highlights from the Sequences, a collection of posts about the core ideas of LessWrong.
Hello LW world! I've been aware of LW for a while now but not quite a lurker here. Therefore, I am not deeply familiar with the culture of the board and have not yet read things like The Sequences or HPMOR, but I have read through the New User's Guide which brought me to this section of the site.
I'm looking to get some constructive thoughts and/or feedback on a post I made over on Medium titled "Thinking beyond the long-term" which discusses the ultimate aims of sentient life. It addresses a number of topics related to that issue, like antinatalism, negative utilitarianism, and the simulation argument.
I considered making a post on LW and collecting feedback that way, but decided against it unless I get a bit of a stronger grasp of the LW culture and norms. I would sincerely appreciate the community's thoughts on this in the meantime.

If you want to explore the community more, I recommend reading the Library, checking recent Curated posts, seeing if there are any meetups in your area, and checking out the Getting Started section of the LessWrong FAQ.
