Considering Alternative Viewpoints
Veer Hitesh Patel, 21 Jan. 2025
A technique for navigating the world or "mental model" if you would like to call it which has helped me navigate the world is considering alternative viewpoints, and truly observing the world from that viewpoint. Understanding the world from that viewpoint. Where is this viewpoint flawed, where does it lose? What are its blindspots? What does it ignore? What assumptions does it make?

This is far better than what most incapable insufferable beings do which is outright reject the viewpoint the second they hear a word they have been programmed to deem as bad.

It is one thing to not know something, it is another to reject thing without any time or goodwill gone into considering the alternate viewpoint.
