Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

David Chapman Retweeted Eliezer Yudkowsky
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 …
David Chapman added,
Do you happen to have any tips on how to find these types of mentors outside of an academic setting? I've had a few opportunities to learn from people and gain "stuff you can't teach" knowledge but it's always been very random
Yes, unfortunately it does usually seem to involve unstructured serendipity. I can’t think of any tips offhand. If it were more widely understood that teaching/learning is not mostly about transfer of information, maybe we’d develop better ways for teachers & students connecting
