I feel it would be useful to develop a standard hour long into to LessWrong. People who have done talks could help by providing feedback on what went down well.
I've only ever done things along the lines of "intro to LessWrong" for serious academic folks, and I've found it very difficult.
The worst one was trying to explain why "probability is in the mind" was not an ontological confusion.
An hour can really only scratch the surface of any of the relevant topics, especially if you want people to take something away from it other than a vague skepticism about the whole project.
I believe Eliezer has had much more luck with targeted presentations, like about specifically how to make rational decisions in a business context. Surely he would have a lot to say about this.
Wish I could up-vote this twice. Anyone care to volunteer for this? If so, please contact me.
Does a contest for a presentation video+slides+notes sound like a good idea?
Trivially yes.
Yes.
Boy, I'd love to be part of a team that put this together, but I'm less than confident in my abilities as teacher.
