In descending order of importance:

  1. Instrumental rationality.
  2. How to actually practice becoming more rational.
  3. Rationality via cluster thinking and intelligent imitation.

Could you elaborate on these or point to some place they are discussed? I'd like to learn more on those subjects, but aside from LW I don't see people using the phrase 'instrumental rationality' or even using the word rational to mean what it means here.
