I want to be in the community where we’re all expected to become swole in both bayesian epistemology and CBT skills. If I had to choose one or the other communal competencies I think being able to CBT each other is probably a better starting point.
I wonder if I should go out and look for psychotherapist cultures that see a convergence between mental health and rationalist epistemology, or whether they’ll have already found us via ssc/tlp.
If you listen to David Burns, then learning these skills needs deliberate practice with explicit feedback on skills like empathy. Most psychotherapist cultures just don’t have that. Copying psychologist culture doesn’t get you the those kind of skills.
If we would want to follow what Burns says, it would make more sense to have a culture where after you meet with another rationalists both of you fill out feedback forms where they rate each other empathy in the conversation and maybe a few other metrics.
I don’t see what’s difficult about having a norm of just telling people when they’re not understanding you/not seemingly trying, and caring about that?
