Think about it -- who is the prototypical Less Wrong meetup participant? It’s a person who’s very rational already, relative to nearly all other humans -- but relatively lacking in other skills like intuitively and empathically understanding other people. But instead of focusing on improving their empathy and social intuition (things they really aren’t good at, relative to most humans), this person is focusing on fine-tuning their rationality more and more, via reprogramming their brains to more naturally use “technical rationality” tools!
