Oliver Habryka (who works on programming LW2 at the moment) taught rationality to other students at his school a while back based on CFAR style ideas which at the time meant a lot of calibration and Fermi estimates.
The same would also make sense with the more recent CFAR material for anyone who took the CFAR course.
I was wondering about the same at my University in Belarus. But somehow it feels like it wont work :D CIS Educational system is not even trying to study smart and well-developed graduates.
