I didn't realize Connection Theory was even still around (the last time I remember reading anything about Leverage Research doing anything was when they failed at polyphasic sleep, which was like a year or two ago now?). Good to have some criticism of it, I suppose.
If you want a more precise date for whatever reason, it was right at the end of the July 2013 workshop, which was July 19-23. There were a number of leverage folk who had just started the experiment there.
Is there a written postmortem of that episode available somewhere? I can only find the announcement that they wanted to start polyphasic sleep but not anything about the results.
No. People have been posting comments requesting a postmortem or at least the Zeo data for a long time now, without any public response. Hence, the inference is that (aside from Fallshaw), it was a miserable failure.
