      And from the other side: thriving ultimately necessitates acquiring true models of the world. Models of psychology, physiology, community, culture, etc. Models that inevitably become entangled in external things because reality is one and all true things connect.

      The habits of epistemology that help you understand research papers on medicine also help you figure out your own life. The rules of evidence, bias, wishful thinking, authority vs. observation etc are the same, just in a different domain and with fewer p-values.

      There are many things in orthodox Rationality that may not be immediately useful for the goal of thriving, and may even be epistemically counterproductive if you end up in bad valleys. But caring about truth is good and useful no matter the end goal.https://putanumonit.com/2018/04/23/dont-believe-wrong-things/ …

      😃 what if believing in one wrong thing permits you to believe in two right things you otherwise wouldn't be able to handle? I suspect this constraint exists in practice or put another way, there are limits to how many things one can usefully believe at any given time

      1. Big if true! How would we know if it's true? 2. Two of your last three posts are about biosecurity and Roth IRAs, you're fine. I'm with you 100% that one should not strive to have an opinion about every single thing. That's the failure mode of journalists and philosophers.

      I'm not sure we disagree about much :) Re (1), this is practically untestable via traditional methods; pure intuition, make of that what you will, something something indexicality

      I find minimizing commitment to broad opinions makes it easier for me to settle on novel and useful evaluations of new information and situations something like bottom-up rather than top-down evaluation, if I were to write an essay about it and,

      I think foolish commitment to broad opinions is a common failure mode I've noticed here and declaiming commitments helps me avoid that at a low cost something isomorphic to Keep Your Identity Small maybe. Anyway godbless :)

      Why don't you write an essay about that? Twitter must feel like a game on easy difficulty for you now, why not level up just to get a taste of hard mode? If you're not sure what exactly you believe and how it's useful, writing 1,500 words is the way to figure it out.

          I'm not familiar with anime. Is he saying that he's too busy lifting weights to write longform?
