I think I’ve been able to make outstanding progresses last year in improving rationality and starting to work on real problems mostly because of megalomaniac beliefs that were somewhat compartmentalised but that I was able to feel at a gut level each time I had to start working.
Lately, as a result of my progresses, I’ve started slowing down because I was able to come to terms with these megalomaniac beliefs and realise at a gut level they weren’t accurate, so a huge chunk of my drive faded, and my predictions about my goals updated on what I felt I could realise with the drive I was feeling, even if I knew that destroying these beliefs was a sign I really improved and was learning how actually hard it is to do world changing stuff...
I’ll definitely give this a trial run, trying to chain down those beliefs and pull them out as fuel when I need to.
