People seemed to like Twelve Virtues of Rationality and Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
Yes, but those are polished outputs, and (no offense) have your halo-effect to back them up. I'm talking about sketching in a more generalized algorithm which accepts highly technical explanations as input, and produces output which a member of the general public would intuitively recognize as 'wise,' while retaining the input's truth-value.
There are algorithms for that? My brain just does it automatically on request.
(Also, I presented HPMOR to a new audience with my name stripped off just to check if people still liked what I wrote without the halo effect.)
Of course there are algorithms. The question is whether they have been adequately documented yet.
