The success of Yvain’s post threw me off completely. My experience has been opposite to what he describes: x-rationality, which I’ve been working on since the mid-to-late nineties, has been centrally important to successses I’ve had in business and family life.
I don’t believe you. I think a counterfactual Talisman with his x-rationality cut out and substituted for a double dose of “How to Make Friends and Influence People” would still have a succesfull business and family life. More or less successful, I really couldn’t guess.
When it comes to groups—sized from two to a billion—Yvain couldn’t be more wrong.
Nothing you said seemed to support that conclusion. Partly because it implies a bizarre charicature of Yvain’s post and misses his main point.
