And finally, I am confused again and again why there are so many posts about epistemic rationality and so few about instrumental rationality.

Probably because teaching instrumental rationality isn't to the comparative advantage of anyone here. There's already tons of resources out there on improving your willpower, getting rich, becoming happier, being more attractive, losing weight, etc. You can go out and buy a CBT workbook written by a Phd psychologist on almost any subject - why would you want some internet user to write up a post instead?

Out of curiosity, what type of instrumental rationality posts would you like to see here?
