This is a perspective I hadn’t seen mentioned before and helps me understand why a friend of mine gives low value to the goal-oriented rationality material I’ve mentioned to him.
It’s worth noting that, from what I can tell at least (having not actually taken their courses), quite a bit of CFAR “rationality” training seems to deal with issues arising not directly from Bayesian math, but from characteristics of human minds and society.

Thank you very much for this post!
