Hm, you bring up a valid point about how the 12 virtues as listed don’t really correspond with directly solving a lot of practical (EX: farm problems).
I think that’s okay. For the most part, I think about instrumental rationality as applied cognitive science in the CFAR-esque vein, where utilizing research in habits and motivation can have nice flow-through effects / higher applicability across multiple sectors.
TAPs, for example, can help people remember to do things, regardless of context.
I think you’re advocating for moving more towards a specific problem context so that we can discuss common problems? (So that solutions are more applicable to the group?)
I think that a lot of the LW/rationality value, though does come from these sort of higher-level things, where we can apply them to lots of contexts.
Should be “let”, I think?
close “to” starvation?

Thanks for the typo corrections! I’m busy now, but I’ll think about your point in a bit
