I was thinking about rolsey rolt. John rolls's a thought experiment about how you would design athe veil of interest, the veil of ignorance. You got to make it s hatter as possible. That's as simple as cutting the piece of cake for two children. I was as riyonas yet, like a fancy person. Righ, right. All, you know, those woting about the veil of ignorant. Sorry to interruptbut this is like a hobby horse for me. What's interesting is that rols's conclusion, so, so he was like, ok, surely if everyone did this thought experiment of the veil of ignorance, and they they didn't
When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. We have what Julia Galef calls a “soldier” mindset: a drive to defend the ideas we most want to believe — and shoot down those we don’t. But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a “scout” mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout’s goal isn’t to defend one side over the other. It’s to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what’s actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.
