I still have to read that book. Thanks for reminding me.
About rigid dichotomies though, including the page I linked, I think it's a cognitive bias in and out of itself.
I take these observations as "food for thought", literally, not ready-made conclusions to swallow. A good basis to reflect upon things, but it's just that, the initial spark.
- myaso 9y agoI agree. But I think the value these biases actually provide in helping to understand what is going are more limited than people make them out to be. It's much more powerful to simply internalize the worldview of somebody who knew what they were doing, or several of them -- you're not starting from scratch and you're not using models like a dictionary without knowing how to write.
