Oops. I wasn't thinking along the lines of "the people we most want to come to minicamp are the people who are most easily brainwashed into giving us money". Sorry if I gave that impression.

I was more thinking along the lines of "when should I buy utilons, and when should I buy self-improvement in order that I can acquire more resources and/or more effectively turn resources into utilons?"

Minor point: can you clarify whether Rationality Group is the same thing as the Center for Modern Rationality?

They are the same. We're still testing names. I've talked with several marketing firms, and right now my assistant is tracking down additional companies who focus on market-testing organization names.
