one way to avoid this is deliberately trying to find non-corroborative evidence for every idea/opinion you form.
it's talked about in the Black Swan and is surprisingly difficult to do.
- aston 19y agoI actually have no idea what "non-corroborative evidence for an idea" means. Does that mean try to prove yourself wrong? Or to try to find evidence for the idea that, due to its difference from your original evidence, doesn't actually corroborate? Or ...?
- aswanson 19y agoJust give audience to, or work very hard to find contrary evidence for, a concept you hold as true.
- pc 19y ago"I actually have no idea what "non-corroborative evidence for an idea" means." It's the opposite of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corroborating_evidence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corroborating_evidence
- tokipin 19y agonot to be technical, but i believe "non" means "absense of," not "inverse of." so for a given statement there's a lot of non-corroborating evidence that is irrelevant
