2026-03-15 - disclaimer! Work in progress!

  • Also writing this in this note → Disclaimer - The consensus-ism model is a work in progress
  • Hello!
  • I’ve been on an “improving my thinking” project
  • One outcome of this is realising how imprecise my writing has been up until now, how bad I’ve been at constructing logically coherent arguments and models
  • As such - it is not very clear that the consensus-ism model is a patchwork of stuff, mostly notes that I took when listening to other people, stuff that I didn’t properly ingest and grok and make sense of
  • As such, I don’t see this model as finalised, ready for sharing or use. I mean, it can be shared, and you can squint at it and maybe vaguely get some of it. But it’s not a polished, neat model with no flaws. It’s profoundly flawed right now. It was written prematurely, by a guy who didn’t know how to spot his own confusion.

  • Hi!
  • This stuff changed my life (as in, reduced my suffering by ~90%) back in Feb 2024 and I’m finally writing up my notes on it
  • Start here 👉 Consensus-ism summary
  • See also: my blog posts about this:
    • Part 1 → September 2023, when I was still making sense of this and it hadn’t quite clicked yet
    • Part 2 → Feb 2024, when it clicked for me in a quite profound way
