Okay, yes, I've read some of that. But how much of rationality were you practicing before you ran into Eliezer's work? And where did you learn it? Also, are there other attempts at general textbooks?

Double also, are there sources of rationality "how to" content you'd recommend whose content I probably haven't learned from Eliezer's posts, besides the academic heuristics and biases literature?

Yes - where else is there an attempt to put together a coherent and in some sense complete account of what rationality is and how to reach it?
