Followup on this: Arbital is still going (recent changes shows consistent activity, mostly from MIRI people) and now has the tag line "Arbital is the place for crowdsourced, intuitive math explanations." This is an area it might actually get somewhere with - en:wp's mathematics articles are notoriously opaque and not good for explaining a concept to people who don't already understand it. And CC-by-sa educational articles on math are a win for everyone. On 14 March 2016 at 01:03, David Gerard &lt;dgerard(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Being put together by Eliezer Yudkowsky of LessWrong.
