Sazen turns out to be present everywhere once you see it. I’m noticing it in the news, in teaching, and in learning. I realized it in my FB posts about interesting concepts and on Twitter. I refer to Sazen not only in rationality discourse but have mentioned it to friends and family too. Being aware of Sazen helped me improve my communication.
The biggest example is this: I was posting interesting concepts that I had collected in my Anki deck on my FB feed, but I realized there was a problem because of the oversimplification of the clozes that I posted, which functioned as curiosity stoppers. I wrote a more detailed explanation here.
One big pattern is that summaries that you create for yourself, such as the keywords you use, the clozes of your flashcards, or the titles that you come up with in your diary, are Private Language. They are working well for you, but if you don’t make a Deliberate Effort to tune them, they will not work for others, or worse, they will lead you astray, as explained by Duncan.
