First question:
There seems to be a bottleneck if you’re trying to expose your ideas to criticism. I think that has to do with there not being many opportunities to postmortem. If you expose your ideas more to criticism then you can be aware of more errors. I think it would be good to know what’s an error here cuz you can look at them more objectively and get that you can work on them. You can view them as things you can investigate rather than them just being personal flaws.
If you expose your ideas to criticism then you’re literally getting more criticism. That’s I think what you want if you don’t have many chances to postmortem. Criticisms will let you know about an error you may have. I think you gotta be kinda good at interpreting criticisms. Like do you know how one applies to you? Do you get what the criticism is saying?
Blogs and forums are mediums you can use to talk about your ideas. If you talk about your ideas then they can more exposed to criticism. Now, it’s not just you that can point out errors there’s others that can help. Maybe you’ll notice something you didn’t see on your own.
Also, since your writing your ideas out, they’re now in an explicit form. Maybe seeing your writing will let you notice an error more easily. That’ll give you more opportunities to postmortem.
What does reconsider mean? I think that’s when you think something over again. Imagine you have a set routine that you do that you’re already auto-piloting. If you reconsider it or a part of it, you’re snapping out of that auto-pilot a little.
There may be some things you do that don’t provide good critical feeback? I think I may know some stuff that doesn’t. I think just writing an essay on your own in a sense may not provide good critical feedback. Like, if you’re not really good at them and you’re not improving much on your own, you can ask a writer or tutor for help. They can let you know some of the stuff you’re doing wrong. Is that good critical feedback? Kinda cuz then you can see what you’re missing and it can aid your thinking process.
What is good critical feedback? That sounds like something that’ll point out an error for you. It wouldn’t be super wrong, like it wouldn’t be off-base or untrue. It could be good in the sense that it helps you figure out you’re making an error. Are people good at finding errors? I think good critical feedback could give you more info about the errors you’re making. How will that give you more chances to postmortem tho?
