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.
Subjectively I feel happier and more effective, but there's not reliable external evidence for this. I've gotten better at talking to people and interacting in positive ways thanks to using metacognition, and my views have become more consistent. Timeless thinking has helped me adopt a diet and stick to it, as well as made me start wearing my seatbelt.
