It looks to me like you’re looking to instill a sense of military-style honor among rationalists. A strong code of honor might not be a bad thing to consider and encourage, given that many of us struggle with akrasia and with maintaining our ethical codes. However, on Less Wrong you’ll have to argue that a code of honor would help us to achieve the things that we value, rather than hope to inspire us as you would many other groups. (We’re generally wary of certain modes of persuasion.)
I’d quite like to see some discussion here on consciously promoted codes of honor, their effectiveness among human beings, their characteristic failures, and ways to optimize their content. Would anybody else be interested in such a sequence?
