My latter half of that same statement was to remedy that laziness by asking for direction, rather than flailing out on my own. I realized without that starting momentum, I’d just be an angsty LessWrong poster. SarahC and andreas both gave me some direction; now I’m going to run with that and see where I end up. If nothing else, I should have more information than I do now.
Don’t be lazy—either go do research, or admit that you have little or no rational doubt about your current position.
