Elephant in the Brain influenced extensively ways I perceive social motivations. It is talking exactly about the same subject and mechanisms of why we don’t discern it in ourselves. If you didn’t read it you should check it out. It rewrote my views to the extent that I feel afraid to read “The status game” because it feels so easy to fall into confirmation bias here. This seems to me so active that I would love to read something opposite. Are there any good critiques of this view? Once I was listening to Frans de Waal’s lecture when he expressed this confusion that in primatology almost everything is explained through the hierarchy in the group. But when we listen to social scientists almost none of it is. Elephant in the brain. I think this is such an important topic.

One way to go after mnestics: If you’re running a spaced-repetition system, add flashcards with the structure Title | Content for each mnestic. Then create a “master card” with the question: “What are your mnestics?” Whenever you come up with a new mnestic, update the master card and maybe reset its review interval a bit.
*I read this a while ago and the concept of mnestics stayed with me. great read!
