Hi Gleb. It's been 9 years since you wrote this post. If you are still interested in strategies to promote rationality broadly, I have an idea which I'm starting work on. Basically it's about creating an layperson-friendly system for empirically evaluating predictive mathematical models of recurring phenomena. My thesis is that ordinary people are currently unable to separate knowledge from confidently-stated BS in most topics, and that the two are separable by shaping knowledge into predictive models and testing those predictive models against subsequently-measured data. I'm looking for partners. Would you like to have a conversation?
Glad to share an op-ed piece I published in one of the most premier higher education media channels on how I as a professor used rationality-informed strategies to deal with mental illness in the classroom. This is part of my broader project to promote rationality to a broad audience and thus raise the sanity waterline, so good news on that front. I'd also be glad to hear your advice about other strategies to promote rationality broadly, and also any collaboration you may be interested in doing together around such public outreach.
