Will a version of the rationality curriculum be put out for use in meetup groups? This seems like something the weekly meetup groups could handle and would 1) greatly increase the audience since the camps can’t accommodate many people and 2) give the groups something to do which could lead to an increase in group creation/attendance.
Yeah, that’s another dynamic I meant to ask about. I could see SIAI wanting to make sure that the only Rationality Dojos they acknowledge are ones led by those whose rationality skills they’ve agreed are formidable (and, hopefully, who have also developed good teaching skills). But if that’s the case, I’d still want to use the local groups to practice even if SIAI doesn’t want to recognize or support us as “a Rationality Dojo.”
If the model SIAI uses is that they’re the “hombu dojo” and each regular meetup group is a local dojo, then I think this would probably be downright necessary.

Yes. Some Bay Area groups have already been used to test the material so we can improve it.

I wonder if we could get local groups to sponsor a member they want to send for training.
