In case you missed it, here's the list of all the posts in the original full sequences (about 700 posts) compared to the ~370 in R:A-Z.

If you haven't, read Inadequate Equilibria.

Otherwise, for Eliezer's posts, you might want to look at his profile.

Was this meant to include a link to the full list?

Oh yeah, edited.

Oh, I didn't realize it was such a huge difference! Almost half of the sequences omitted. Wow. I guess I can write a quick program to diff and thus answer my original question.

Was there any discussion about how and why R:A-Z made the selections it did?

Do you have any recommendations for particularly good sequences or posts that R:A-Z omitted, from the ~430 that I've apparently missed?

After years of lurking in this community I finally broke down and Read the Sequences™. Specifically, I read the 2015 edition of Rationality: From AI to Zombies, cover to cover.

Over the course of reading it, I became aware that it wasn't comprehensive. There would often be links going to Eliezer essays on LessWrong that weren't included in the book. I read several of these and enjoyed them. So before I move on to start filling my reading time with other subjects, I'd like to complete my tour through the rationalist community canon.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the omitted essays? Or any highlights? Are any of the 2018 updates to AI to Zombies notable?

So far I'm planning to read the Fun Theory Sequence and trying to find more content on anthropic-adjacent topics (realityfluid, etc.) by following links from Timeless Identity.
