You might find some puzzle games to be useful. In particular Understand is a game that was talked about on here as being good for learning how to test hypotheses and empirically deduce patterns. Similar to your Baba Is You experiments. 

Any way that we can easily get back our own results from the survey? I know you can sometimes get a copy of your responses when you submit a Google form.

What happens to the general Lightcone portfolio if you don't meet a fundraising target, either this year or a future year?

For concreteness, say you miss the $1M target by $200K. 

The karma buttons are too small for actions that in my experience, are done a lot more than clicking to listen to the post. It's pretty easy to misclick.

Additionally, it's unclear what the tags are, as they're no longer right beside the post to indicate their relevance. 

I think this post would benefit from an abstract / summary / general conclusion that summarizes the main points and makes it easier to interact with. Usually I read a summary to get an idea of a post, then browse the main points and see if I'm interested enough to read on. Here, it's hard to engage, because the writing is long and the questions it seems to deal with are nebulous.

How did you find LessWrong?

Do still have any Mormon friends? Do you want to help them break away, do you think it's something they should do on their own, or do you find whether they remain Mormon or not immaterial?

Do you think being a Mormon was not suited for you, or do you think it doesn't work as a way of life in general? How do you think that your answer would change 50 years ago vs today?

Did you have contact/ongoing relationships with other Mormon communities while you were there? What is the variation between people/communities? How devout/lax are different people and different communities?

How much access to the internet and the wider world did you have growing up? Were local/state/international events routinely brought up in small talk?

Well, someone was working on a similar-ish project recently, @Bruce Lewis with HowTruthful. Maybe you two can combine your ideas or settle on an amalgamation together. 

If possible, please let us know how it goes a couple months from now!

So this is Sam Altman raising the 5-7 trillion, not OpenAI as an entity, right?

Could some kind of caustic gas, or the equivalent of a sandstorm be used to make drones not useful? I feel like large scale pellet spreads wouldn't be too useful if the drones are armoured, but I don't know too much about armour or how much piercing power you could get. I wonder if some kind of electric netting could be fired to mass electrocute a swarm, or maybe just regular netting that interferes with their blades. Spiderwebs from the sky?

Interesting post, although I feel like it would benefit from inline references. For most of the post it feels like you're pulling your assertions out of nowhere, and only at the end do we get some links to some of the things you said. I understand time/effort constraints though.

I derive a lot of enjoyment from these posts, just walking through tidbits of materials science is very interesting. Please keep making them.
