there’s no easy way to assess whether a belief is true or false, in contrast to the trivia questions in the credence game. Moreover, it’s very easy to become mindkilled by politics. What do you do?
Tentatively preserve what is working, based on regular testing to confirm it is still working. Cautiously adopt changes with an emphasis on how to minimize the ways they can go wrong, not the possible benefits if they go right. Test newly adopted policies regularly. This was how ‘conservatism’ might have described itself at one time, but that word has other meanings now.

Also keep in mind that the system is sufficiently complicated that it won’t always be easy to see that the cause of problem Y was change X.
