Sorry to see you going, your contrarian voice will be missed.
Wanted to mention that Intentional Insights is a nonprofit specifically promoting rationality for the masses, including encouraging empirical and evidence-based approaches (I'm the President). So consider recommending us in the future, and get in touch with me at gleb@intentionalinsights.org if you want to discuss this.
What did you do from which you learned empirically? Which assumptions that you had when you started, have you managed to falsify?
Well, one thing we learned from empirically was that the most responsive audience to our content was in the secular community. We assumed that people into health and wellness would be more responsive, but our content is not sufficiently "woo" for most. So we decided to focus our early efforts on spreading rationality among the secular community, and then branch out later after we develop solid ties there.
