Decided to behave in a different way in some set of situations
I downloaded seven metabooks and I’m going to read all of them, regardless of their quality. I’m pretty sure I’m bad at reading, never having “practiced” it, and I’m certain that I do not read quickly enough or recall enough. So I hope these books will fix that problem. I may make a discussion post after this experience, explaining which ones I thought were helpful and which ones I thought were not.

Mitchell Porter has decreased my confidence in the computational theory of mind, but not so much that I think it’s wrong. This actually happened a while back. I’ve also changed my mind about something else, which I won’t publicly reveal.
