Yeah, I have no clue what evolutionary pressure means, or what the big-bang is, or any of that science stuff yet. sigh I really don’t enjoy reading hard science all that much, but I enjoy ignorance even less, so I’ll probably try to educate myself more about that stuff soon after I finish the rationality book.
Ok, that’s perfectly fair. My honest opinion is that it really isn’t very practical and if it doesn’t interest you, it probably isn’t worth it. The value of it is really just if you’re curious about the nature of reality on a fundamental level. But as far as what’s practical, I think it’s skills like breaking things down like a reductionist, open mindedness, knowledge of what biases we’re prone to etc.
Yeah, I guess one person has only so much time… at least for now… I am curious, but maybe not quite enough to justify the immense amount of time and effort it would take me to thoroughly understand.
Thanks :)
