Thanks for the icebreaker bit! Useful insight.
Being scientific is not a requirement for those who seek psychologists, or a lecturer on self-help/personal psychology. People'd rather pay a charlatan that appears on TV making astrology-like claims, than someone who knows facts about happiness, distress and depression based on large N studies.
Did you test this claim against reality and actually advertise services as a life coach etc.? Can you work as an online therapist through LivePerson.com or a similar site? If what you do actually works, maybe it will spread through word-of-mouth. Maybe you can copy the promotional methods of whoever is getting themselves promoted most effectively but spread stuff based on science.
If you're fully fluent in >1 language, try translation work? I've definitely seen websites that hire people to do that though I can't recall any offhand.
Can you raise money for IERFH and tackle bigger projects (thereby becoming more impressive and raising more money)?
Not interested in translation work. Language habilities are more abundant than philosophical knowledge/transhumanist morals where I live by a factor of millions. It would be such a waste.
I was planning on raising money for IERFH, we had donations. But I am not psychologically good at that, it also would probably not give me, personally money. We need money for several other things that take priority. Since there are 30 collaborators, I'd expect someone else would be willing to do it, but pro-bono work has a simple rule, people do what they want to do, not...
EDIT: No one was doing what the post suggests, so I accepted an idea from one of the comments, and embedded my response in a comment, not the post itself
I'd like to ask this question to you, and I'll respond it myself as well.
What Is The Worst Problem You've Ever Encountered and Solved? And the One You Didn't, Yet!
Some prior considerations:
1) I mean "problem" in a very general sense, it could be a math problem, an existential problem, a social problem, an akrasia problem, a disease problem etc...
2) I'd like people to give informative/didactic responses. Try not only to state the facts, but also to help someone who'd encounter similar situations to be able to deal with them.
3) When talking about the one you didn't, give enough specifics that someone would actually be able to help you.
The general idea is to teach people how to Win by example, taking in consideration all the shortcomings of biases etc...
Well, that is all. One solved, one not yet solved. State your own issues and help others here. Someone else's rationality is always welcome.
