Requesting advice:
I'm writing a piece on rationalism*/ postrationalism/transhumanism, and some primary sources I'd use would be @SquirrelInHell's "Tuning your cognitive strategies" and some earlier writings.
Are there any who see ethical issues with this, or anyone who knew this person who'd be uncomfortable with me doing this? A comment on the linked post reads
Man, it does make me sad that whenever I bring up this technique, there’s an obligatory version of this conversation.

I do think there's something to say, quite distinct from any speculation about the cause of a tragedy. I have three primary sources currently. It is downstream of my experience but won't necessarily feature that.
