I don’t think you need the art of rationality much for that stuff. I think just being reminded is almost as good, if not better. Who do you think would do better on them: someone who read all of LW/OB except this post, or someone who read this post only? Now consider that reading all of LW/OB would take at least 256 times longer.
Learning about rationality won’t necessarily help you realize where you’re being irrational. If you’ve got a general method for doing that, I’d be interested, but I don’t think it’s been discussed much on this blog.

That was only a sample. Should we really prefer keeping them all in mind over learning the pattern behind them?
