Hi ,
I hope you're doing well.
Today, I wanted to share with you an interesting article I came across that talks about 10 reasons why our beliefs might be bullshit and 10 ways to de-bullshit our minds. This article is a great read for anyone who is looking to increase their self-awareness and make sure that their beliefs are grounded in reality.
We all have a tendency to fall into certain mental traps that lead us to embrace suboptimal answers, or to overestimate our understanding of certain things. This article highlights these pitfalls and gives us practical ways to overcome them.
For example, one of the pitfalls is the principle of least effort, which is when we tend to do the bare minimum to get our information. To overcome this, we should put more effort into finding multiple answers to our questions instead of just accepting the first one that comes to mind.
Another example is the Dunning-Kruger effect, which is when our ignorance makes us ignorant of our own ignorance. To overcome this, we should adopt a humble attitude and question our own answers instead of assuming we know everything.
This has been written by Gurwinder. He is an awesome deep thinker who is well respected in today's world. People really admire his insights and ideas
This is just a quick overview of the article, and I encourage you to read the full article to learn more about these 10 mental pitfalls and how to overcome them.
