Over the past dozen years, I have been busy on a discussion forum called Quora. Though I have posted thousands of posts, I find that I often refer back to some of my posts that captured an idea or argument better than others. Being a bit OCD, I finally collected all these most-cited posts into a list, and here it is. Enjoy!
