If you’re interested in this, we should be talking about CBT and related techniques, which are essentially a form of rationalism training directed at those biases which feed eg depression and anxiety disorders. If rationalism training were brought into schools, some CBT techniques should be part of that.
Yes, CBT and related techniques are exactly the sort of thing I had in mind.
I don’t think most rationalists are aware of them though, and it’s not because rationalists suffer from none of the problems for which they are especially effective or because they have already addressed the problems via other means.
I would hold myself to much higher standards for a top-level post than for a comment, and I’m extremely busy at the moment, so I won’t be able to do a top-level post for at least the next couple of weeks.
If anybody else has thought about this issue as well and wants to write a top-level post, feel free to do so. If I don’t see such a post, then I’ll write one up when I have time in a couple of weeks.
Would you consider a top-level post about this?
(FWIW, I, at least, see emotional self-awareness as a core rationality skill.)
