I thought this was why we had the Karma system (Points!), why we interlink articles to create a “wiki-walk” effect, and so on? I got the impression we were so good at being engaging that some people even had to put us on leechblock.
Also, maybe someone on SIAI could try making good on that email offer? A non-profit for increasing rationality is probably one of those things that were offered help for free.
All that stuff may help us read LW, but not as good at actually directly helping to train us to be more rational. Also, the issue of “how to create games that help teach rationality” is one that’s been explicitly talked about here, so perhaps could directly benefit from people with expertise in the game industry side of things.
Anyways, I’ve already emailed them. (Though obviously I don’t count as an official SIAI person in any way.) But yeah. I pointed them more at LW than SIAI as such, basically saying “hey, I’m not an educator or a doctor, but I’m a member of a community interested in increasing human rationality...”
