Yes. As a special case, if you destroy a bad old institution, you can’t count on good new institutions springing up in its place unless you specifically build them.
I would definitely be interested if you found a way to self-review recordings of your social interactions for improvement. The main roadblock I see is that either you tell the other parties that you are recording, which will probably influence their behavior a lot and erase most of the signal you were looking for in the first place, or you don’t, which does feel a bit unethical.
Ethical concerns here are not critical imho, especially if one only listens to the recording oneself and deletes them afterwards.
People will be mad if you don’t tell them, but if you actually don’t share it and delete it after a short time afterwards I don’t think you’d be doing anything wrong.
Law of one player: Any specific thing you just thought of will never happen[1] unless you (yes, you specifically) make it happen.
Exceptions in cases where the thing (1) gives the person doing it status, (2) is profitable, (3) gets that person (a) high quality mate(s).

Instance:
Someone (i.e. me) should look into video self modeling (that is, recording oneself & reviewing the recording afterwards, writing down what went wrong & iterating) as a rationality technique/sub-skill of deliberate practice/feedbackloop-first rationality.
What is the best ratio of engaging in practice vs. reviewing later? How much to spend engaging with recordings of experts?
Probably best suited for physical skills and some social skills (speaking eloquently, being charismatic &c).

Most cases, you could build a mini-quadcopter, “teach” it some tricks and try showcasing it, having video as a side effect!
I’m not sure if this will be of any use, since your social skills will surely be warped when you expect iterating on them (in a manner like radical transparency reduces awareness of feelings ).
When I think about a good business idea, but end up doing nothing, I often later find out that someone else did it.
Hm, good point. I’ll amend the previous post.
