Unfettered Thoughts

Won’t always be the most interesting of reads, but may be some good nuggets scattered throughout. This is more of mental practice for myself to see how I change over the years. When I take the time to journal regularly, I usually find a sharper mind and memory as the reward.

Thursday 2/11/2021 - Interdependent Thinking

-Interdependent thinking opposed to independent thinking. We know what we know based on interdependent information sharing. It is in our best interest to constantly explore our personal understanding of the world, and regularly steelman opposing understandings in order to gain a more nuanced picture of the world around us. Even if wrong, other’s beliefs become real with enough following, and not enough testing scientifically. Our personal philosophies should be thought of as more prototype, then finished, set in stone, product. Even if there is no free will, because it feels like we do, is enough reason to act like we do.

-All though it seems like there are an uncountable amount of problems in the world, I suspect that is an illusion of a multitude of perspectives on just a few big core problems. These perspectives are further multiplied through communities and translation differences. If we could run our society through first principles, scientific thinking, then maybe we could solve the big problems, and let downstream effects clear the remaining illusion.
