      If I say “same” too, can we all stop being embarrassed?

      It’s very interesting that this is true. How quickly/easily we switch to a kind of outside view, and how rarely we do it.

          Yeah, same thing happens when I'm showing my city/office/neighborhood/etc. to a visitor. Like, when I lived in NYC I didn't notice the trash everywhere until I was showing tourists around.

          Or rubberducking. There is little more infuriating than being stymied, going to chat or somewhere to explain it, and halfway through the description suddenly going - 'oh. Oh. 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵! Brain, why couldn't you tell me that 20 minutes ago?'

          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 …

          Reminds me of @preskill's method of the virtual guru: when stuck on a problem, ask: (1) who do I know who is smart about this kind of problem?; and (2) what would they say? This works surprisingly well...

          ... 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

          I agree this is a good question to ask on the meta-level, but I object to asking it on the object-level.

          it feels analogous to how you realize how well you understand a topic/concept when you try to explain it to a person that is not familiar with it

          imo this also true for other aspects of life - eg work imho "switching to outside view" is also eg the best argument for shipping products with feature flags early on (eg half-done to .1%) changes the discussion, usually removes blocking behavior
