Strong empathy with:
“anguished, torn, anxious, no-ground-beneath-my-feet feeling … lose their grip on … something …”
I also described this feeling as “philosophies are sharp”. I hadn’t considered an oscillation model.
Updated more towards large unpleasant emotions can come from bad epistemics.
Seriously grateful for all your posts so far. Very interesting novel content.
Somewhat saddened that we’re coming to the end of the regular schedule. :)
Very curious about the particular character you use.
Though a no-comment response is totally legitimate act.
The whispering made me chuckle.
Some group-rationality articles:
Quoting Sarah Constantin from The Craft is not the Community:
″ “Company culture” is not, as I’ve learned, a list of slogans on a poster. Culture consists of the empirical patterns of what’s rewarded and punished within the company. Do people win promotions and praise by hitting sales targets? By coming up with ideas? By playing nice? These patterns reveal what the company actually values.”
Also a segment from Melting Asphalt’s wonderful Crony Beliefs.
What is the company culture of your mind?:“By way of analogy, let’s consider how beliefs in the brain are like employees at a company. This isn’t a perfect analogy, but it’ll get us 70% of the way there.
Employees are hired because they have a job to do, i.e., to help the company accomplish its goals. But employees don’t come for free: they have to earn their keep by being useful. So if an employee does his job well, he’ll be kept around, whereas if he does it poorly — or makes other kinds of trouble, like friction with his coworkers — he’ll have to be let go.”
There is a technique called belief reporting developed by Leverage Research. My take is that it lets you check if you alief something. It involves intentions.
Intentions, briefly: Place a cup on the table. Hold the intention not to pick up the cup. Try to pick up the cup.
One of two things happens—you can’t pick up the cup. Or you release the intention. If you can’t pick up the cup you may feel a physical pressure. Straining against yourself.
Belief reporting is where you hold the intention to only say true things. I feel this as a firmness in my back. If I try to say “My hair is green” I won’t be able to speak, and a kind of pressure develops in my chest. Perhaps this is a weak form of self-hypnosis.
I belief reported to all of the statements above. And found I was able to say more than five of the above while holding the intention to only speak the truth. Strange. my S2 does not endorse them at all. But I guess my S1 does.
Good signs you’re playing on hard mode.
Though nature doesn’t grade a curve.I appreciate interlinking with other pseudo-cannon. SSC, Kaj, yourself etc.
Concepts are stronger in context.

I often use this against the planning fallacy.
When: I’m quoting a time estimate: “I should be there at 2:15”, “Hrmm we’ll probably be done by 5″ Then: Ah ha! How long did I take me to get there last time? or at least add 15 minutes.
