Does personal knowledge about psychology or rationality actually help with large or small personal decision making? Seems like a premise of learning about cognitive biases, LessWrong, etc.

Maybe we are worse at achieving goals if we remove our own bias in favor of correctness. Convincing yourself that your new company is a guaranteed success probably makes you a more convincing leader. Your politics are probably more convincing if you give in to confirmation bias.

FWIW, I do think LW rationality is helpful. Prob helps with decisions and at very least I'd bet it is helpful like reading a book that gives you a different perspective on the world is helpful. Mainly just fun to try doing a premortem for why it might not help. /cc
