The Open Thread posted at the beginning of the month has gotten really, really big, so I've gone ahead and made another one. Post your new discussions here!
This thread is for the discussion of Less Wrong topics that have not appeared in recent posts. If a discussion gets unwieldy, celebrate by turning it into a top-level post.
Indeed. Eliezer's post itself, however, seemed mostly to caution against it, and perhaps what he took away from the subsequent discussion, after weighing the various contributions, was that it had too little to recommend it. At any rate, that I'm aware, the question wasn't raised again?
Of course one issue is that it was never clarified what "it" might be, i.e. what would result from treating LW more explicitly as a "rationality dojo" (that would be different from what it is at present).
