Thought of a phrase: alt confidence. The generally higher sense of self certainty that comes with adopting fringe views. I think it’s a selection effect. People who can’t tolerate high uncertainty centrifuge farther out to edge.

That assumes the default is to start out on the fringe and move to the center. I don’t think that’s true, or that most people are that empiricist. The alts move out, the norms don’t move in.
