Testing rationality ideas on startup people would be a great way to solidly verify the methods, but it’s not fast enough to develop them.
Right. I picture us developing tests of how well people have learned specific methods, like recognizing mysterious answers to mysterious questions, and using those to develop the training program. Then performing the start up experiment to see if the separate training techniques were synergizing into something useful IRL. Do you think I should have mentioned that in the main post? It seems relevant, but I didn’t want to obscure the main point with unnecessary detail.
