One of the big things about improving rationality is ‘Getting Crap Done’ and I think the problem is that for an online community wherein most of us are anonymous, there’s not a lot on here to help us with that.
Now this site has helped me conceptualize and visualize in a way that I didn’t realize was possible. It helped me to see things as they are, and how things could be. The problem is that whilst I’m flying ahead in terms of vision, I still sleep in and get to work late, I still play world of warcraft over going to the local toastmasters meetup, I still haven’t opened up my online trading account.
It’s like I know what to do, but in terms of generating the willpower and committment and motivation to do it, this site just becomes another of many shiny distractions.
The thing is as an online community I’m not sure how much you could remedy that.
The Meetups however I think is possibly the best thing to come out of this site so far, as it has inspired me to start my own, which has come to great success, even after a somewhat rocky start, and provides a way for those who feel isolated to find a network of support.

Just my two humble cents.
