We are one step closer to the glorious time when a thread titled "Most rational choice of footwear" will appear.
I'm not trying to saying it was wrong to ask what the best educational gift for your little sister was, but that the word "rational" really didn't need to be in the title. :)
Hey, you gotta have rationalist footwear to play rationalist one-foot!
I think it's easy to be duped into buying suboptimal toys, especially around the holidays. I was hoping for people to offer tips on the general psychology of children learning science at this age, so that those tips could be collected into a strategy for making a systematic and principled purchase decision. I can supply the details about my sister, but I don't know how to make sense of those details as applied to buying a toy to elicit a specific effect. I really think that 'rational toy buying' is appropriate. I was inspired by this post and was hoping to bring about a discussion that mirrored that but for purchasing educational toys. Lots of very useful advice and suggestions have been given, but my post fell short of my goal. Either way, I think my choice of title was relevant. I think it's very odd that so many LWers rapidly point out superfluous uses of "rational". I should go around to posts and point out superfluous pointings out of superfluous uses of "rational."
Kuribo's Shoe is the most rational choice of footwear. THE SHOE IS CIVILIZATION!
