(I tried thinking for a while and couldn’t come up with anything either. I think it maybe falls under the heading “split and commit,” which I think really is one of the more fundamental motions or concepts, but it doesn’t have a long history in LW culture and also doesn’t feel like it’s quite the right type signature.)
I think if we got to, like, 5 split-and-commit posts it’d make sense as a tag, but it still feels like that should just be a subset of a broader “lightness” concept.
“Epistemic Lightness”, “Epistemic Hygiene” feel close to the right type signature.
Turns out we already had an epistemic hygiene wiki post (from Old LW), which I just converted into a tag and added this post to. (further edit: not quite sure it was the right thing but seems better to fail-forwards)
