Can anyone attest to getting real instrumental benefit from SI/LW rationality training, whether from SI bootcamps or just from reading LessWrong?
I don't just mean "feeling better about myself," but identifiable and definite improvements, like getting a good job in one week after two years without success.
Absence of evidence is evidence of absence :-) Most of us don't seem to get such benefits from reading LW, so learning about an individual case of benefit shouldn't influence your decisions much. It will probably be for spurious reasons anyway. Not sure about the camps, but my hopes aren't high.
