I have never received evidence that I am less likely to be overconfident about things than people in general or that any other particular person on this site is.
You’ve never caught yourself in the act of falling for a cognitive bias detailed on this site?
My judgment of this site as of now is that way too much time is spent discussing subjects of such low expected value (usually because of absurdly low expected probability of occurring) for using this site to be worthwhile. In fact I hypothesize that this discussion actually causes overconfidence related to such things happening, and at a minimum I have seen insufficient evidence for the value of using this site to continue doing so.
I’m curious about what other web sites satisfy similarly high expectations. No snark intended.
RE: Cryonics—that particular *reverse Kool-Aid doesn’t come in my flavor yet, but I enjoy that a notable minority are willing to put their money where their mouth is. It gives discussions of futuristic edge-cases a novel weight.

“Kool-Aid” is now a term that can be used to mean not committing suicide?
You have a point! Updated for correctness and humor.
