Agreed. I think you might find Thinking and Deciding interesting, and I’m trying to read through and post reviews of similar useful books. One thing to note is that tips tend to be the building blocks of these sorts of systems, and so a list of tips is still a useful resource.
Another thing to note is that LW really doesn’t talk much about the human-scale problem of choosing goals relative to having correct beliefs or accomplishing the goals you do have effectively. The result is a two-legged stool, which doesn’t seem like a system. But, choosing goals is basically the big problem of being human, and the LW contributions in that area are fun theory and FAI, both of which appear to be in very early stages of development, and not at the right scale.
