I've been a regular on LW and have obtained a PhD and well-paying job since my time here. I've been wondering, since we have a lot of seemingly-successful people on this site, can't we form some kind of group to bring rational thinking to the masses? Society at large seems extremely mistrustful of scientists and scientific opinion at the moment. It would be great if we could do something meaningful to change that.
What exactly is the thing you want to bring to the masses? Why do you believe it has much to do with "rationality" once the masses adopt it?
Perhaps something like HPMOR (but way easier to understand) as a point'n'click adventure. A rewrite of "Rationality" in a simpler language could possibly also be worthwhile as suggested elsewhere.
