When you think about it, because of the way evolution works, humans are probably hovering right around the bare-minimal level of rationality and intelligence needed to build and sustain civilization.
I think this will be a really helpful thought to keep in mind, thank you.
The next thing to remember, of course, is that you’re a monkey too.
Also helpful, I think I was starting to think of myself as having done with all the basic biases.
My reaction tends to be more cosmic horror than anger/frustration though. I tried to express it here.
I guess I could try to see it that way, at least I wouldn’t be angry at people who actually helped me improve back in the past.
I sometime thought about what happened to them in the terms of “That stupid way of thinking got them, it will mess them up more and more if they don’t get rid of them”.
It seems better to try seeing them as infected by a bad, harmful meme than to just get angry at them because they’re suddenly being stupid.
