I had a business dispute and other interpersonal conflicts, where knowing about human biases made me realize that my own perspectives are probably biased, and others’ are as well but it’s only human, which made me less indignant and prevented the conflicts from escalating more.
Learning the concept of moral uncertainty made me less angsty with not knowing what real morality is, and more ok with pursuing selfish and altruistic goals at the same time.
Eschewing conventional notions of success and doing things that are better for both my selfish and altruistic goals. (Not sure which rationalist concept this corresponds to exactly.)
I like these answers a lot because they strike just the right balance between specificity and generality that will let me render similar character developments into my story world, without feeling like I’m just copying something down directly. Thanks!
