I would be surprised to see much activity on a comment on a three month old thread. If you want to pursue this, I’d suggest writing a new post. Good luck, I’d love to see someone pursuing this project!
Yeah, InIn was the main attempt at this. Gleb was able to get a large number of articles published in news sources, but at the cost of quality. And some people felt that this would make people perceive rationality negatively, as well as drawing in people from the wrong demographic. I think he was improving over time, but perhaps too slowly?
It actually was around october that i found clearerthinking.org by googling reason vs. emotion. I friended Spencer Greenberg on FB and asked him if there was some movement/community around this.
He advised me to check out RATIONALISM, LW and EA.
Just check my above posts if you please, I hope i finde the time to post a new version of RATIONALITY FOR THE MASSES here soon...
What is your background? (ie. why are you not like those LW folks?)
I mean: I am so reliefed to get some positive feedbacks here, while LW only gave me ignorance and disqualification...
I couldn’t agree more.
I believe that rationality (incl. emotional intelligence etc.) is the key to a better version of mankind.
I expressed this in several LW posts / comments, eg.:

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Qwi3zMnfduGHztWSu/rationalism-for-the-masses
I am looking for people to assist me in creating an online step by step guide to
rationality
self reflection / empathy
emotional intelligence
brain debugging
reason vs. emotion
(low) self esteem
Such guide should start from zero should be somewhat easier to access than LW.
More details in above LW posts.
I have many ideas / concepts around such project and want to discuss them in some kind of workgroup or forum, whatever works best.
I will start an own threat about this here later, depending on feedback on this comment.
Thanks, Marcus.

You can bet I will be pursuing this vision.
I only heard about LW / EA etc a few months ago.
I was VERY surprised no one has done it before. I basically only asked around to
(Now that I got a taste of the LW community I am a little less surprised, though… :-) )
The closest NGO I could find so far is InIn, but they still have a different focus.
And even this forum here was rather hidden...
Anyway:
Your response is the first/only ENCOURAGING one I got so far.
If you happen to remember anyone who was even only writing about this somewhere, let me know.

Haha! Bulls Eye!
