I was applying a standard anti-bias heuristic I have internalized: when the costs are low and a beneficial action clear, be the person who ignores the bystander effect.
You can always drag it onto the top bar of your web browser for a direct link. I recommend that for your inbox (showing private messages and replies to your posts/comments) as well.
Is there a reason you put it that way, rather than “be the person who ignores the bystander effect, especially when the costs are low and/or a beneficial action is clear”? Obviously one doesn’t want to start to act like an underpowered superhero, but it sounds like there’s more to your thinking than that.
I prefer to use more detailed analysis and consultation rather than a precomputed rough-and-ready heuristic like that in high-cost and uncertain situations, since the expected value of deliberation increases.
An excellent plan. Is there perhaps a way we can sticky this thread, or otherwise keep it linked from the front page as the month goes on?

That makes sense, thanks.
