Was this over time? Did this happen when CF was up? Did I do this? Later on in ur reply(first sentence of second paragraph), I think u say u wrote exploratory things and that people tried to learn instead of being critical. I wonder if I I tried to learn instead of being curious or trying to understand more of what u say.
Idk what polarized means well so ill look it up
Ok, after looking it up, I think it means that the responses are like the oppossite of each other. Like, they try to agree a lot or disagree a lot.
I think ure looking for the more mixed or nuanced responses cuz they are at least being more fair I think. Like, they don’t just shut down the part of themselves that disagree I think.
Yeah, I wish this intellectual stuff was easier cuz I think there’s so much one could miss or overlook and it could get in the way of understanding what u say.
How does one know they’re giving critical feedback? What does critical feedback mean? Giving critical feedback sounds like a goal that’s hard to be successful in if one doesn’t it practice enough.
The problem is that Deutsch could be very wrong about some of the things he showed u or taught u, but u’re not getting the critical feedback that would help to know.
Does the quote above show that there may be deficiency in I guess the community’s rational skills?
I think I’ve noticed this offhand over the years. Makes me think it’s hard to be an intellectual idk. Like, it seems hard for people to be rational idk.
I wonder how it looks like when ideas are being exposed to very good critical thinking. Like, what do u see members do? What do you see them employ? I think they would use stuff like post mortems or maybe debate trees. Like it would be automatic for them and they would be cool with using those. Maybe they could make up their own rationality tool that’s not problematic to use idk.
I wonder why but it seems that the quote explains some.
