While it can be good to look out for these things in yourself, I am against ever pointing this out in other people’s behaviour (not that you suggested doing this). Always stick to the object level, and only ever give feedback of that sort to people you have a high-trust relationship with, and in private.
A nearby post to this that I’d be very happy to read would be you explaining how you’d made a particular mistake of this sort, and how you noticed it.
Yeah, I should have worded that more carefully. It now says: “while pseudo-rationality is encouraging rationalitists to consider whether they are really as rational as they think they are”
“Spending too much time reading rationality content or the kinds of things rationalists are interested in”—this is probably the one that I have the biggest struggle with.
“Always fighting for the truth, even when you’re burning more social capital than the argument is worth”—another one that I’ve done way too much!
