Okay, I was kinda bored while reading this, but after reading it I asked myself how much modest epistomology I used in my life. I realized I wasn’t even at the level of ignoring my immodest inside-view estimates —I wasn’t generating them!
I’m now in the process of seriously evaluating the success chances of the creative ideas I’ve had over the years, which I’m realizing I never actually did. I put real (though hobby-level) work into one once, and I’ve long regarded quitting my day job someday as “a serious possibility”, but I just felt not allowed to generate an honest answer to “how likely would this be to succeed”.
And guess what, this evaluation shows I’m an idiot for keeping my ideas on the back burner as much as I have.
