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.
