Gotta appreciate the sincerity of intent behind such things, but seriously, if this is the sort of thing people are pinning their hopes on in the post-real permaweird we’re in for some serious hilarity. More likely it will turn into yet another larp like “civil debate”
It’s a timeless genre. Here’s Paul Graham earnesposting badically the same idea in 2008 when things were much tamer than today. http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html
I feel bad about ripping on the diagram, but I’ll admit I’ve not liked anything I’ve seen of Adam Grant’s work. Far too TEDdy for my tastes. I liked some bits of McCarthy’s bullshit paper though, also linked in the OT.
Well, 'I might be wrong' is a common thought among working scientists. Impostor syndrome is rather prevalent in the community. The pyramid is garbage though.
