Are you able to pinpoint exactly what gives you this feeling?
Less a single sharp pinpoint, more a death of a thousand six cuts:
The emphasis on learning the names of biases is kinda guessing-the-teacher’s-password-y.
You’d need to put forth an unusual effort to make sure you’re communicating the subset of psychological research which actually replicates reliably.
Any given bias might not be present in the student or their social/business circle.
The suggested approach implies that the set of joints psychologists currently carve at is the ‘best’ one; what if I happen to see Bias A and Bias B as manifestations of Bias C?
I worry some students would round this off to “here’s how to pathologize people who disagree with me!” training.
Like I said, this is the kind of fruit that’s low-hanging enough that it’s mostly already picked.
All that said, I still think this is potentially worthwhile and would still playtest it if you wanted. But I’m much more excited about literally every other idea you mentioned.
