LW is a terrible example, an attachment to bunch of people (SI) who keep sinking their effort and other people's money, and rationalizing it. Regarding noticing irrational pattern, so you notice it, get rid of it, then what? You aren't gaining some incredible powers of finding correct answer (you'll just come up with something else that's wrong). It's something you always find in cults - thought reform, unlearn what you learnt style. You don't find people sitting at the desks doing math exercises all day being ranked for being correct, being taught how to be correct, that would be school/university course, it is boring, it's no silver bullet, it takes time.

Are you intentionally trying to promote evaporative cooling?

Evaporative cooling regarding that attitude and this behavioral pattern? ABSOULTELY!

Boredom. You guys are highly unusual, have to give you that.

Might I suggest using fungibility? There are more effective ways than LW to treat boredom and desire for unusual conversation, if you pursue them separately.
