I want to read good blog posts, but I don't have enough time to exhaustively read all the blogs I like.
And I'm sure there are good bloggers who I've never heard of.
At the end of February, I will read (at least) the top 5 blog posts in this market.
I'll resolve the market to the one I think is best, where "best" means something like "Is this the kind of blog post that I'll look back on in a year and think 'Yeah, I'm glad I spent the time to read that post'?" So I will be mildly inclined against posts about current news, since I don't think I'll care much about them in a year. (But posts about current events can still win, e.g. a post that convinces me that nuclear war is imminent and I should move to the countryside. So news articles are not excluded.).
And I'll be inclined against choosing posts I've already read. I haven't done much reading in 2023, so anything published this year is probably something I haven't read.
I like the following blogs:
- https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/
- https://marginalrevolution.com/
- https://www.overcomingbias.com
- https://betonit.substack.com/
- https://www.econlib.org/author/ssumner/
- https://www.themoneyillusion.com/
- https://applieddivinitystudies.com/

- https://news.manifold.markets/
- https://thezvi.wordpress.com
- https://radimentary.wordpress.com
- https://xenaproject.wordpress.com
- Eliezer Yudkowsky's Sequences
I will not look at those blogs in February, so they're a good source of unread posts that I'll probably like.
If you read one of these blogs, your taste is probably similar to mine, so go with the posts you like most.
I will not choose anything published by Astral Codex Ten, since I'll read all the ACX posts anyway, and ACX would likely win the competition if I put it on here.
Please do not recommend books. If you want to recommend a long sequence of posts, pick one of them.
If your response is "I can't figure out what posts you'll like because I don't know how you think/what you find funny", I suggest taking a look at https://lettertok.substack.com/p/resolving-januarys-manifold-market, which I wrote about resolving the previous version of this market.
