More Right Institute

Right has political connotation in at least America, and I think most other english speaking countries as well.

I did not notice that as I thought of "More Right" as the synonym to "Less Wrong". Do you have any viable alternative?

I considered "More Correct" but that doesn't seem to work.

Neither "More Right" nor "More Correct" really work with the same connotations as "Less Wrong."

Maybe "Less Wrong Institute" would be the way to go?
