What were the good ideas?
- _yb2s 2y agoProbably better to look and decide for yourself, but generally they teach specific techniques to reason more effectively in certain situations. They introduced me to Bayesianism, which is something I now use extensively in my science career, and I appreciate specific strategies to avoid falling into cognitive biases, and to argue more effectively and honestly, such as steelmanning. None of their lifestyle ideas really jive with me- I have no interest in things like raising children in a polyamorous group home, or in using consequentialist ethics combined with hand wavy mathematical models to make decisions in regular life.
