Yes. :) I partially made this post as an experiment to see if others wanted this to. And I think the answer is a resounding “yes”. I might announce the next steps soon!
I see multiple parts to this.
How often should you practice on your own?
How often should you practice together as a group?
What’s the optimal trade-off between practicing and doing other things (e.g. just doing your job, doing research, “executing” on the skills you previously practiced)?
How fast do you hit diminishing returns for practicing various skills?
I think it could be cool if LessWrong had something like a schedule of classes with two classes per day, and people went maybe as often as they go to the gym (2-4x per week). But the gym metaphor is doing a lot of work in that analogy and I don’t actually know what the right frequency interval ought to be.

3. I like all your ideas. See also this thread: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/gJR4StLkutHvcA6tc/what-are-good-rationality-exercises (it has a bunch of overlap).
