I’m currently updating my beliefs about the LW community and the related sister communities. I still have the sensation of an outsider looking in, but I find myself relating to or agreeing with more of the socially strange beliefs of the community. Not because they come from the community but because, as I read about these beliefs, I find they make sense. And as long as they make sense, I have no real choice but to accept that they seem to make sense until I find reasons that show them not to make sense.
This is all good. You also have to be aware of frequency bias and confirmation bias. If you see the same argument a lot, and you see a bunch of evidence for that belief (because the stuff you’re reading a lot has mostly positive evidence) of course beliefs are going to sound better.
When I first came to lesswrong (I do this with any community I encounter that has certain signs of a cult), I first look for counter arguments against their core beliefs, which gives proper perspective.
This is probably, more than anything, the main trait I’ve noticed in the sequences. Repetition of concepts. Every other articles acts as a collector of what’s been explored before. So, it becomes important to look away from the repeated and cached ideas, to make sure that they still hold up outside of an echo chamber.
The ones that still hold start to feel suspiciously more real than competing ideas. Doesn’t make them perfect maps. Just better ones.
Happy new staff! Could you tell me if this “diet” is minimally acceptable? Pa-Oats with yogurt / milk.
