I never notice how dirty my laptop is until I'm showing another person something on my screen

A variation is the method of the virtual guru where you pretend to be someone else ("why would patrick / gwern / julia / tyler say?"). I've found this shockingly effective.https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/1036815737560551426 …

Patrick: It will be fine in the end! Gwern: Hm, this is totally related to catnip Julia: I agree on the meta level, but I disagree on the object level Tyler: How does this even help economic growth?
-
... Now I am nerd-sniped by wondering whether I am more likely to agree on the meta-level & disagree on the object-level, OR agree on the object-level and disagree on the meta-level
-
What is the difference between meta and object level?
-
I agree this is a good question to ask on the meta-level, but I object to asking it on the object-level.

I'm convinced this is 90%+ of the value of a therapist. A human rubberduck who's legally barred from divulging the debugging is incredibly powerful. I highly recommend getting a therapist, it's a secret superpower for pretty much everything.

I'm not quite that pessimistic about what therapists do. :) The Dodo Bird Verdict literature does point to individual differences in therapist efficacy (which have nothing to do with method/experience etc) so good therapists are doing *something* more than just listening.
