  This is similar to the notion of polymath projects (apparently quite successful): http://​​polymathprojects.org/​​general-polymath-rules/​​

  What links here?

  I think the distinction between a “remembering self” and an “experiencing self” might be relevant here: http://​​www.ted.com/​​talks/​​lang/​​eng/​​daniel_kahneman_the_riddle_of_experience_vs_memory.html

  I had a similar thought on the distinction between “shiny/​fun” versus “hard”, but I still support the basic premise of the article. As it stands, I find LW valuable in a dual role… i.e. both for developing the right attitude towards self help and also as a “fun/​shiny” thing. At the same time, I suppose there is a lot of scope for improvement with its role pertaining to the self help goals.
