I realize I’m replying to a very old comment, but have you had any follow-up thoughts on this? I and some others are thinking of “making rationality more accessible” in a local context; we’ve all read LW/SSC/ACX etc for years but don’t really have any good ideas on how to introduce the material to beginners effectively.
My quick answer would be: since writing the comment I noticed plenty of people made first contact via hpmor :D
I still don’t know the answer though. I’d guess a startupy algorithm to answer this might lookw like:
identify audience (is it local folks, all peeps on web, ‘agenty’ people) and desired outcomes (more active community members, or just spread the concepts)
find channels to first reach that audience (go viral on tiktok or guest lecture at stanford)
funnel into a broader learning programme (is it a mooc, a YT playlist)
But obvs this is a pretty involved effort and perhaps something one would go for a grant for :o
