The proposer's comparative advantage may be elsewhere: They may lack the lack the ability, or be overburdened with other, more valuable activities.
Always suggesting that the proposer carries out their idea deters people from offering ideas, some of which might have proved valuable.
Also, by saying "we," the proposer may actually be volunteering to serve as a representative of the group, soliciting their opinions and their help.
On the other hand, the proposer may be the best motivated to carry it out.
I didn't necessarily mean the proposer, I meant, y'know, you.
This was posted a few hours ago. Basically, the reddit admins have decided to promote the so-called "University of Reddit", a subreddit where people can offer and teach any course they'd like, or just attend a course. This is official website for all courses. At the time of this posting the subreddit had ~38,400 subscribers, but I expect it will grow significantly.
Given the reddit demographics, a Rationality course has the potential to become extremely popular. The exposure can popularize CFAR and LessWrong, and can be used to recruit fresh minds for rationality-related causes. Also maybe run experiments with curricula or methods of teaching rationality?
What do you guys think?
