Someone made a post about this recently listing that and other useful practices (and I just saw you replied in there as well). I’ve heard about these checklists before but while I think it’s a pretty important habit to acquire I haven’t had the time yet to improve on those aspects nor have made of those an habit yet (i.e. I think it’s important to improve but I don’t actually remember to practice on my daily life).
Taking this checklist as an example, I think I can say that I failed to do 2.1 (when I said there were two probable interpretations without even asking myself the meanings of the 2nd one) while correctly doing 1.5 (when I perceived that I was mistaken and admitted to it instead of arguing for a side).
Would you know any tips on (or any texts about) perceiving these cognitive flaws while they are being committed or shortly after so one can promptly deal with them?
A rule of thumb I find very helpful when evaluating statements is to ask myself what I would expect to experience differently if it were true or false, and to ask myself what I would endorse doing differently if I knew it were true or false. Frequently, what this makes me realize is that I don’t actually understand the statement… which is particularly embarrassing when I’m the one who said it.
