Voted up for that.
Tentatively, it might work to teach rational methods of improving one's life in small ways with a gradual spread into more areas rather than starting with the idea of becoming rational about everything. That might attract people who are dubious about rationality (without knowing what it is) and/or don't want sweeping self-improvement.
The gradual and concrete approach might even have some rationality of its own-- it's a sort of informal testing of an idea.
I didn't think of it this way. I agree. (Also, is it considered superfluous in this community to comment only for the sake of agreeing with someone? That's conceivable to me.)
Thanks, and my feeling about commenting just to agree is that it's okay if it's fairly rare-- something like under 1 in 50 comments (overall, not just your comments) per thread. Otherwise, just upvote.
On the other hand, while I probably have a pretty good sense of what's acceptable here, the question might be worth taking to an open thread.
