What outrage fatigue? Other peoples' outrage has me feeling pretty amped
What about misinformation and too much information?
reply
For me, I don't really ever think there's such a thing as too much information. As for misinformation, I sometimes fall for it but I'm always willing to be corrected. I also think I'm more discerning than most people because I'm trained to spot errors in logic / misinterpretation of data

That's cool. Maybe you can share "how we (untrained folks) should avoid it?

I was planning to make a Pleb Economist post about "refining your bullshit detector". Maybe it'll be the next one... but yeah there are a couple of things anyone can do to get better at spotting unsubstantiated claims

I love your Pleb Economists post. Now I'm already waiting for "refining your bullshit detector".
Would you like to post it here in ~healthandfitness? I think it'd be more relevant to HEALTH.
reply
Haha, I think I'm committed to posting them in ~econ. If cross-posting is ever enabled, I might branch it out to other territories :)
Do you have one or two books that inspired your bullshit detector that you would recommend?
