Have you thought about studying the persuasive and motivational arts in an attempt to increase this batting average? I’m always fascinated how watching videos by Internet marketer Eben Pagan makes me want to buy his stuff, forgetting the fact that I could probably get comparable knowledge from much cheaper library books. Sometimes I wish all of the advice I read came in an Eben Pagan format.
For what it’s worth, I just submitted Less Wrong and its articles to 2 subreddits, 3 link directories, and Hacker News… and now I’m resting easy in the knowledge that I’ve saved trillions of future lives in expected value. (Only mentioning this in case anyone else is interested in saving trillions of lives, of course. Reddit is probably a good place to start, especially if you already have an account; my reddit submission rate is throttled severely.)
See what I tried to do there? ;)
I suspect the first step is to transition from blame-oriented language to opportunity-oriented language.
