This thread is getting long enough to be a little inconvenient to monitor, though the bright green edges on new comments help a lot.

Maybe it's time for a True Rejection Challenge, part 2.

Yes. I'd also love to see follow-ups afterwards to report on what was effective, what wasn't, what form of advice worked best, and what would the relevant known and (at the time) hidden variables.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for tracking.

That's what the bright green edges mean!

More specifically, the green edge appears on comment that are new since the last time you refreshed the page.

Yea.

Actually, this meme is great enough that it should become a monthly thing!

Some intuition is also telling me there is a "mirror" challenge to this one that would complement it and also should have a thread, but I don't know what this one would be. It feels like some fragmented memory of an idea I forgot or somehting like that. I think it might have somehting to do with finding/formulating problems.

Procedural Knowledge Gaps had almost three times as many comments.

On that note, many props to Alicorn for starting these great instrumental rationality threads.

That thread was made before we had these green border thingies. They change the rules.

Maybe it's time to bring back Procedural Knowledge Gaps.

good idea! Maybe that should be made a monthly thing or somehting.
