*Applied Rationality: for articles about what Jonathan Baron would call descriptive and prescriptive rationality, for both epistemic and instrumental rationality (stuff about biases, self-improvement stuff, etc.). * Normative Rationality: for articles about what Baron would call normative rationality, for both epistemic and instrumental rationality (examining the foundations of probability theory, decision theory, anthropics, and lots of stuff that is called "philosophy").

I like the this way of dividing concept space, hate the name. People already conflate "normative" issues with 'rationality theory' with such things as "Is it rational to evangelise vegetarianism?". Additional priming with the word 'normative' would be unhelpful. The use of that word with that meaning is borderline at best anyhow and unless the jargon is already overwhelmingly dominant to the extent that you can't fight it there is no need to adopt bad names for things.

The word 'applied' is often complemented by the word 'theoretical'...
