That’s a beautiful site! And looks like all the links work.
I have very few criticisms. First there is a tiny use of jargon words like ‘win’ in a context they’re not normally used in, but I think it’s probably ok, the context is fairly self-explanatory. Though I might be getting used to the jargon words by now, so I’ll inevitably be biased.
Second I think the causal model graphic on the front page can be improved: I think you need to change ‘perfect reasoning’ and ‘perfect decisionmaking’ to ‘improved reasoning’ and ‘improved decision-making’. No reasoning or decision-making can be perfect, but they can be improved greatly. ‘Perfect’ seems like overstating the case. (That’s even reinforced in the ‘winning’ section on the What Is Rationality?′ page.) Also decision-making requires a hyphen.
Third and most obviously for my perspective I would like to see citations for some of the scientific claims, but since I’m personally working on that right now for CFAR I can wait until I’ve finished. ;)
I was going to write the same thing, though my suggestion would be “Rational reasoning / decisionmaking”. Well, maybe repeating the same word everywhere is not a good idea. Therefore, another suggestion: “Better reasoning / decisionmaking”.
“Perfect” leaves me twitching. Is it possible to know with probability of 1 that your reasoning can’t be improved on if you’re talking about anything complex?
