Would you be willing to rename to remove the “post-”? Eg, “Thinking without ‘bias’”. I want to push back against the non-epistemic demand to believe something that the prefix “post-” creates.
As I said, I’m not entirely happy with the name, but “Thinking without ‘bias’” wouldn’t work for me. It works well as the title of a post, but not as the title of a concept or way of thinking. Probably the best alternative I have at the moment is, “Bias contingency”, because the argument is really, that depending on contingent circumstances, what appears to be a bias may not actually be a bias. This is more accurate, but also a bit of a mouthful.
EDIT: After more thought I came close to suggesting Bias Critical Analysis, which could be shortened to being Bias Critical. But the term is starting to grow on me. I know that Post is sometimes used to imply the the non-Post view is outdated, but technically it just means something that comes after. We started off with Bias-Centered Thinking on LW, but now that we have learned more we can take a more nuanced view that asks this Bias-Centered Thinking to share the stage with other perspectives. Hence Post.
EDIT 2: I finally ended up renaming it to De-Centering Bias. I feel that this name somehow manages to be both accurate and simple enough to remember.
