I’ve been working on understanding and using hypnosis, which is better described as conditioning arbitrary associations through mind games.The theory and results have been quite promising, to understate it.
There has been a lot written on LessWrong about how one should think, but relatively little on how to actually implement these thinking patterns. One of the directions that I want to take this is helping people take these skills and actually implement them on the 5 second level. I also want to see if I can develop a viable ‘rationality seed’ by installing a gut level appreciation for the importance of taking ideas seriously (and in particular, the idea that rationality matters) as well as a few other select habits.
I’ve made a ton of progress and I feel like it’s almost a new branch of engineering. I have concrete ideas to test and avenues to explore and not enough time to explore them all at once.
I’m looking for other people that would be interested in being brought up to speed on the theory and then running experiments with me. I’m excited to see where this can be taken :)

PM me if you are interested.
I would be very interested in hearing some specifics.
