The Center for Modern Rationality? I haven't seen that name before, and apparently neither has Google. Is this the announcement of it as the choice for the spin-off organization which Eliezer mentioned? http://lesswrong.com/lw/9lx/help_name_suggestions_needed_for_rationalityinst/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/9lx/help_name_suggestions_needed_for...
- rms 15y agoNot really an official announcement so much as the name we're calling it now until we settle on a decisive, permanent name by the time we launch not-free workshops. But probably since we've just anchored on it we'll stick with it unless we get hiccups in market testing. From what we've seen, the most common response/objection we've heard is "but what do you mean modern?" which in the scheme of objections we've ever heard is a pretty good one, as that's a good conversation starter for about how modern means based on current cognitive science.
