Welcome! Note that there are some references to "Hermione" on this site and they are probably about that other person.
As a general comment, remember The Art must have a purpose other than itself. Don't assume you're more rational because you know some bias names or feel more rational. Make sure it's making a difference in your life, and if possible do that via systematic empirical study.
Hmm, thanks, that makes sense. But do you have any suggestions for indicators that would measure if I'm improving?
Sorry, I'm just here ironically to recite empty platitudes about empiricism.
But seriously, figuring out how to know that is one of the big projects here.
hah. Has anyone made any progress?
I was wondering if one could test group rationality by starting a conversation about something the group finds it hard to agree on. There are a few such topics here on LW and I'm sure there would be more if you added politics into the mix. The test would be so see whether the group could reach unanimity. I was thinking this might be a fun thing to try at the brussels meetups if they get going.
Articles taged verification
Unfortuantly, the set of articles with the tag verification doesn't have a perfect correspondence to articles that would be relevant here, but its close and generally to broad rather than to narrow. http://lesswrong.com/lw/2s/3_levels_of_rationality_verification/ and the rest of it's series are probably the most important.
