The Nonlinear Library EA - Posts from 2023 you thought were valuable (and underrated) by Lizka

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Posts from 2023 you thought were valuable (and underrated), published by Lizka on March 22, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
I'm sharing:
a list of posts that were marked as "most valuable" by the most people (who marked posts as "most valuable" in Forum Wrapped 2023), and
a list of posts that were most underrated by karma relative to the number of "most valuable" votes.
These lists are not objective or "true" collections of the most valuable and underrated posts from 2023. Relatively few people marked posts as "most valuable," and I imagine that those who did, didn't do it very carefully or comprehensively. And there are various factors that would bias the results (like the fact that we ordered posts by upvotes and karma on the "Wrapped" page, people probably remember more recent posts more, etc.).
Consider commenting if there are other posts you would like to highlight!
This post is almost identical to last year's post: Posts from 2022 you thought were valuable (or underrated).
Which posts did the most Forum users think were "most valuable"?
Note that we ordered posts in "Wrapped" by your own votes, followed by karma score, meaning higher-karma posts probably got more "most valuable" votes.

Which were most underrated by karma?
I looked at the number of people who had marked something as "most valuable," and then divided by [karma score]^1.5. (This is what I did last year, too.[2]) We got more ratings this year, so my cutoff was at least three votes this year (vs. two last year).
