I think that there is a general consensus that we would probably live in a better world if we raised the sanity waterline. However, most people interested in rationality, biases, Bayesian theory, decision theory, etc are people who have already a natural inclination towards these topics. I feel I have benefited enormously by reading LW, the Sequences, listening to Julia Galef’s podcast etc, but I was already interested in rationality before knowing about them. What initiatives have more potential to make rationality more popular among people without this natural inclination?
