Recently have started a discussion group amongst some of my friends and aquaintences in an attempt to study and improve our rationality.
What I tend to do, is using the sequences as 'source' material, write up a lesson plan that attempts to be a bit more accesible to the layman and go through it with them as slowly and meticulously as possible.
Only had one meeting so far, but it's been exciting seeing it come together and people get engaged with the idea of improving their rationality.
Mm question is regarding the "Map and Territory" analogy, which is what we're planning to look at indepth next meeting.
Could you further the analogy and say that the paths that would write on your map, to get you to and from different points be considered the application of Instrumental Rationality? (As charting the map is the application of epistemic) You could point out that Instrumental Rationality also requires you to have a good map.

Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated.
