Agree. NancyLebovitz’s posts points at something true: there should be more resources like HPMOR for “regular people” to increase their level of rationality. That’s part of the reason I’m excited about groups like Intentional Insights that are working on this. But I think “dumbing down” Less Wrong is a mistake. You want to segment your audience. Less Wrong is for the segment that gets curious when they see unfamiliar technical terms.
