I work in government and am interested in practical applications of rational thinking in large and complex organisations.
A huge amount of people here have math/computing/science majors and/or jobs. I’m in the same basket as you, though—very interested in the applications of rationality, but with almost no education relevant to it. I’m currently stuck between politics and academia (in psychology, politics, economics maybe?) as a career choice, but either way...
And we need that—people from outside the field, who extend the ideas into other areas of society, whether we understand it all as in-depth or not.
So best of luck to you! And as Alexandros says, don’t hesitate to put a post in the discussion forum with any progress, problems or anything of interest you come across in your quest. I’ll be keeping an eye out for it.
Hi, David. I was very happy when I read
