This is sad but I don’t really trust anything unless it’s from before about 1960 unless it’s some super niche field where there are the kind of direct feedback loops you need to have actual experts.

The only way I ever feel like I know something is when I know at least four or five counter intuitive things about it and have to eat shit about being wrong at least three times.
Eating shit is the epistemic equivalent of vegetables.
People who never eat shit for being wrong are claiming that they are never actually so wrong that they need to eat shit, and that they are so brilliant the universal human foible of self delusion doesn’t apply to them.
I’ve felt crazy a few times in my life, but never while eating shit.
