Some of these points are pretty good in isolation, but I think there’s a big disconnect between learning them as short blurbs and actually using them in life. I don’t think that disconnect is adequately appreciated. I think people don’t do much to practice and create good habits/automatizations for points like the Twitter thread lists. Instead, I think the points get used primarily in explicit arguments, or as rationality tips, which isn’t very effective.

Also they’re generally too shallow. Like I can read it and imagine a good meaning but there isn’t much depth of explanation about how to interpret it or why it’s true. A lot of them appeal to pre-existing intuitions and conclusions people have.
