A Plan to Improve the World: 20 Rational Debate Advocates

That makes me wonder: do I want it applied to myself? Idk if I want to open myself up to unbounded criticism. Atm I think I’m much more like thin-skinned intellectuals who feel embarrassed by criticism. I’d have to work very hard on rewriring my brain (so to speak) to fully realize in all cases that criticism is good and something I should be eager to exploit/capitalize on/profit from/learn from/use to get better. Reminds me of Do You Really, Actually, Genuinely Want Unbounded Discussion? (Also, Breaking People seems relevant.) But doing that would be a big project and require lots of practice to consistently change how I feel about unbounded criticism. I could still try it though.
