As an aside, if we are getting many novel ideas but there are not enough people to fund/implement them, that’s good evidence that we should be worrying more about movement growth (& less about cultivating a small cadre of uber-rational people).
The next logical step is to evaluate the novel ideas, though, where a “cadre of uber-rational people” would be quite useful IMHO. In particular, a small group of very good evaluators seems much better than a large group of less epistemically rational evaluators who could be collectively swayed by bad reasoning.
