      As @ESYudkowsky notes, universities mostly don’t teach you to think. That’s a disaster… But it’s difficult: intellectual apprenticeship doesn’t scale. If you are lucky, you *can* learn to think at university—if you find the right teachers—but it’s rare.https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1083617589983510528 …

      What weird alternative universe is this person tweeting from? Schools don't teach people to think. They just don't. We would all notice if they did. We'd be surrounded by thinkers everywhere. That would be a very different Earth. https://twitter.com/phildaian/status/1083376176889057282 …

      Do you think that people fall into certain buckets? As in, there are only so many conceptual paths to walk to get to an idea. I feel like unis could be utilizing this better, like many elementary schools do.

      I don’t know. Education is a field about which I know little. What sorts of buckets do you have in mind?

          Bucket: wants to think about things as abstract concepts which are instantiated in reality Bucket: wants to see each experience as unique to itself, finds little value in abstraction

          Those are big buckets but just to paint the picture. The point being to look for buckets which are large enough to handle individually but small enough to catch useful differences. So each bucket would have certain kinds of thought patterns which are difficult for them, and
