I bet that partner thing was kind of important.

Are you suggesting that rationality takes the same level of one-on-one contact that dancing does?

I'm sure it wouldn't be too much trouble to go out and find rationality partners, if that's what it took. I'd still need the curriculum though.

Talking with a rational person who disagrees with you can be a great experience, if both of you prefer finding the truth above winning the discussion.

(I am not saying that the minicamps are about this. Just answering your question, out of context.)

I bet that "kind of important" thing was kind of an understatement.
