What is it that the readers of lesswrong are looking for? One claim that’s been repeated frequently is that we’re looking for rationality tricks, shortcuts and clever methods for being rational. Problem is: there aren’t any.
If there aren’t shortcuts, then that means there is only one path on the way to rationality. It means that there’s not a roundabout way one could come in to it. It means that once one has become Mr. Rational, he won’t ever look back and say “I wish I would’ve done this differently.”
