Updates Thread

If you’ve updated your belief about something you think is worth noting, post it here.

  • It doesn’t have to be a full blown “mind change”, just an incremental update to your beliefs.

  • I’m thinking it’d be good to have a low bar for what is “worth noting”. Even if it’s something trivial, I figure that the act of discussing updates itself is beneficial. For rationality practice, and for fun!

  • That said, I also expect that browsing through updates that other people on LessWrong make will lead to readers making similar updates themselves a decent amount of the time.

  • I’ve been developing a strong opinion that journaling and self-reflection in general is incredibly useful. Significantly underrated even among those that preach it. This thread is a way to perform such journaling and self-reflection.
