I’m planning to write a sequence on all positive and negative effects the practice of rationality has had on my life, and I already have one post on pitfalls. Future posts will probably be about things like
forming realistic expectations
reading LW in a way that’s less reality-masking
a list of all the low-hanging fruit I’ve found
a list of interventions I’ve tried
weird effects from learning some rationality techniques but not others
the benefits of diversifying one’s sources of knowledge
re-learning how to interact with non-rationalist society
These will take a while to gestate and write up, but I expect to have a significant amount of content out before this time next year. Of course, this doesn’t replace a community survey, but I think a case study with emphasis on the practical will contribute significantly.
