Interesting. I think perhaps people do get stuff done around here, but it doesn’t get talked about all that much. I get quite a lot done (though certainly not always what I should be getting done), especially in terms of programming projects. cousin_it, Vlad M etc. also seem to get quite a bit done in terms of math. I imagine others get stuff done too.
Perhaps it would be interesting to hold a “what are you working on?” thread. I would be pretty interested in hearing what other people are working on that’s productive, and I always love sharing what I’m working on.
I’ve suggested a lesswrong hackday/projects in my local lesswrong discusssion group and I didn’t get a good response.
I did get a response from someone involved in the NY lesswrong group that said that the projects they had tried hadn’t gone anywhere much and that discussion was deemed more popular.
Both epistemic rationality and instrumental rationality can not be improved indefinitely by discussion alone. I would be interested in knowing the details on why he/she thinks these projects did not work out and weather he/she will continue to try and organize such projects.
