P. João — LessWrong

I wanted to learn and publish my questions in lesswrong to make less mistakes, but...

Then comes someone named gwern. He completely ignores my cuestion and simply asks:
"Tell military firefighter stories."

My first instinct was to dismiss him as an oddball—until a friend told me I was dealing with a legend of rationality. I have to admit: I nearly shit myself. His comment got more likes than the post I’d spent years working on.

So, I decided to grant his request with a story that blends military rigidity with... well, whatever it is I do. I didn’t want to expose my ass in LessWrong, but here we are:

1. The Semi-Rational Militar Firefighter

2. Field tests of semi-rationality in Brazilian military training

3. When the Wannabe Rambo Comedian Cried

4. Emotional Theory for a Disorder Manual on How Not to Freeze Completely

I am a dyslexics guy living in Argentina, writing in English for LessWrong feels like a paraplegic playing for the major leagues—ambitious, awkward, and, every now and then, a miracle of technology.

And how do they do that?

I am still amazed when I see that uncertainty can be measured.

I published it, the script video is here: https://www.tiktok.com/@pastorselfi

An old success case I found on my first search. I have had a pretty decent success rate with leftist-tribe friends and acquaintances as well and plan to continue testing.

Could you describe some of these experiments?

Would it be possible to stimulate mental masochism? Make the unpleasant pleasant?

I don't know, for you, rationality is expensive, so I invest at a certain level. But perhaps it could be cheaper, like instead of lack of illusion, and if we extract a little bit of illusion from that part of the path in particular? Isn't 0.1% of rationality a victory?

Could you give me an example?

how i find how they do?
