As an adjunct to his new map/territory essay, @Meaningness wrote a great blog post introducing his readers to @withorbit and describing how it might help people build meta-rationality. His descriptions of Orbit are in many ways much better than mine! metarationality.com/now-with-orbit

I'm particularly tickled by his description of how the prompt-writing process impacted the prose during the editing process. I had a similar experience with "How to write good prompts." I don't understand this very well yet! 
I also really enjoyed his observations about @_awbery_'s use of SRS as part of a program to shift the way they think, a "fundamental reorganization of their worldview and way of thinking and acting."
Because the medium is so unfamiliar, I expect each author will need to write an introduction like this, framing Orbit's role for their readers. Will be interesting to see the different angles each author brings. And perhaps eventually such intros will no longer be necessary.
