Rationality training by itself is worse than useless. Apply things in practice or you risk building free-floating castles detached from any practical application. A basic rule of thumb: if you spend more than 10-15% of your time on meta improvements, you are probably accomplishing less in your life than you could be. That means 85% to 90% of your time should be spent doing actual work.
As for community building, if that floats your boat, sure why not. I'm hoping you choose the FLI grant instead however :)
Oh yeah, forgot to say that my initial grant application on concept learning was accepted to the second round of proposals.
Working on the full-length proposal now.
:)
Let me know if you need a review.
Yeah, CFAR-style rationality training is the goal: carried out by actually troubleshooting and solving one's real-life problems, while also building a community of like-minded people to remind you to actually think about your problems instead of doing whatever default thing comes to mind.
