Just noticed... Why does this say 'instrumental' rationality? When was that decided, when did it start? I originally suggested the rationality diaries with intent of them being both epistemic and instrumental.

I think it started in http://lesswrong.com/lw/cew/group_rationality_diary_51412/

which was inspired by a CFAR's "applied rationality" minicamp, and presumably interpreted "applied" as "instrumental".

First rationality diary I can find on LW: 2012-05-14. This one already says "instrumental". It doesn't say it was your idea and seems to imply it was someone else's (which might, among several possibilities, indicate that it isn't actually descended from the original suggestion you have in mind here).

It was in the Received Text, so, no particular reason AFAIK. It seems like the bullet points cover both kinds?
