“Rationality” was a vague metric for me when I first started reading the sequences. Breaking it down into clear skills (taking ideas seriously, noticing confusion, “truth” as predictive accuracy, etc) with explicit benefits and common pitfalls would be useful.
Once you nail down what metrics you’re talking about when you say “rationality”, I believe the costs and benefits of investing in becoming more rational will be clearer.
Feel free to brainstorm as replies to this comment, I would enjoy a full post on the subject.
