If you really don’t want Google to optimize its results to your biases, you could sign out of your Google account when you make a search. Or, if you look at enough sites that oppose your beliefs, Google will probably start putting them in your search results.
On a related note, one of the great things about LW is the many posts criticizing our favoritebeliefs. It’s possible to read LW extensively and not be led into conformity as strongly as with other sites, because several of our members comment primarily to speak against our core ideas and mission. While that can be annoying at times, I appreciate it in the long run for acting as epistemic hygiene.
