I’m making a Curated tag for CF. I’m taking recommendations for what posts to include. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

 ![image](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2848956d96a37b6d9a0b900ec7027de2803d1fa2.png)

Or view the tag [on the CF site](https://criticalfallibilism.com/tag/curated/).

I don’t plan to include Classics articles, which are pretty easy to find anyway and pretty link-heavy. I’d like to add some Research articles.

The tag name might change to Favorites, Best or something else. Feedback on the name is also welcome.

EDIT: Renamed to Favorites for now. [Favorites - Critical Fallibilism](https://criticalfallibilism.com/tag/favorites/)

Do you have any specific criteria in mind for what makes something “best”? Who is the “best” list aimed at?

E.g. is it aiming to introduce beginners who don’t know a lot of philosophy (so “best” is something like “first building blocks of CF”), or people who knows a lot of conventional philosophy (so “best” is something like “countering common bad philosophy”), or some other group?

I skimmed a few articles. These ones might be worthwhile additions as they seem like they don’t require understanding a ton of other stuff already and seem to me like pretty important ideas/skills to work on to be good at thinking.

I’ve also noted them as articles to come back to later and respond them to them directly myself.

I might skim some more articles later and suggest some more.

Rephrasing:

This question is for people who have read lots of CF articles. Which do you like best?

The [Attention to Detail](https://criticalfallibilism.com/attention-to-detail/) article is one of my favorites. I remember liking it when I first read it. I just reread it and I think it connects certain CF ideas together really well for me.

If I had to guess what a CF article about attention to detail would say before reading it, I think I would have guess that the article would be about criticism filters and having a library of criticism that hones down focus to specific details. I also would have guessed that it would talk about the lack of attention to detail in certain important topics and some ideas about what to do about that.

I like the psychological insights about memory and attention. I like the stuff about memory triggers and incorporating review into regular philosophy activities. It was also super helpful to see that there’s a connection between poor attention to certain details and not being persuaded of their importance.
