I've changed the post title to "How I Ended Up Non-Ambitious" and promoted.

Reasons for change: More specific description of actual content; worry about titles that countersignal at the expense of such specificity (original was "Why Less Wrong hasn't changed my life (yet)".)

Oh, having not read the post under either title I had assumed Swimmer had written two. The titles seem so completely unrelated!

The new title does make me more inclined to read it. My thought when reading the original title was "Pffft. Why would it be expected to? Humans changing their lives based on supplied information is relative rarity!"
