David, curiosity what is the link about? ( besides handbooks).

Is is just a collection of random stuff? Apologies, I did not dig around sufficiently.

p.s: I found this interesting: https://publish.obsidian.md/davidgasquez/Rationality . Somebody tried to explain what 'rationality' is, without tossing around the word loosely as most people do.

Indeed. Is mostly a way for me to keep track of interesting things and have a quick way to re-learn something.

That note should be named "Thinking" to be honest. The goal is to collect a bunch of bullet points that I can read at any given time to remind me how to think better or common gotchas.


Not oc but this appears to be a reference to rationality as practiced by the "rationalist movement". You can read more about it at these places:

I like the definition "rationalism is the belief that Eliezer Yudkowsky is the rightful caliph."
