Two posts I think about commonly are A Tale of Two Tradeoffs and This Is The Dream Time.
Others I see on the top voted list that I remember finding valuable include Politics Isn’t About Policy, Stories Are Like Religion, Inequality Talk Is About Grabbing, What We Should Study, and Beware Star Academia.
But there are literally 1000+ posts, and I’d like to (as I think I’ve mention to you ricraz) organise a subset of them into a more readable ordering sometime.
I hadn’t read "Beware Star Academia" before and it was quite an interesting concept.
This perhaps points a bit towards separate questions of "what are the best intro to Hanson posts" and "what are the best Hanson posts you might have missed if you only read the highlights?"
Here are some, based mainly on a search for which ones I’ve linked to before:
Beware the Inside View
On Liberty vs. Efficiency
Distinguish Info, Analysis, Belief, Action
Further Than Africa
Two Types of People (foragers and farmers)
Policy Tug-O-War
And, since I think he published better writings outside of his blog, here’s a longer list of those:
Shall We Vote on Values, But Bet on Beliefs?
How YOU Do Not Tell the Truth: Academic Disagreement as Self-Deception
He Who Pays The Piper Must Know The Tune
Burning the Cosmic Commons: Evolutionary Strategies for Interstellar Colonization
Long-Term Growth As A Sequence of Exponential Modes
Economic Growth Given Machine Intelligence
Fear of Death and Muddled Thinking—It Is So Much Worse Than You Think
When Do Extraordinary Claims Give Extraordinary Evidence?
WHY HEALTH IS NOT SPECIAL: ERRORS IN EVOLVED BIOETHICS INTUITIONS
