I've been thinking on-and-off about starting a LessWrong spinoff around the self-improvement stuff (current name proposal: LessWeak). Is anyone else interested in that sort of thing? It'd be a bit like the Akrasia Tactics Review, but applied to more topics.

Instead of a spinoff, maybe Discussion should be split into more sections (one being primarily about instrumental rationality/self-help).

Topic-related discussion seems a good idea to me. Some here may be interested in rationality/cognitive bias but not in IA or not in space exploration or not in cryonics, ...

This would also allow to lift the "bans" like "no politics", if it says in a dedicated section not "polluting" those not interested in it.

I endorse this idea.
