This brief highlights epistemic uncertainty surrounding memory and reality—topics that intersect core clinical concerns about how clients understand their experiences, memories, and sense of self. The discussion of how time, entropy, and potential cognitive biases shape what is considered “real” offers a useful reminder for mental health professionals to attend to clients’ existential questions and doubts without prematurely ruling them out. The article’s emphasis on circular reasoning and the limits of knowledge can inform gentle, nonjudgmental exploration of clients’ narratives and uncertainty, supporting reflective practice.

I hired Claude to articulate my thoughts on the self-improvement industry…

I'm not saying AI tooling can't help. But if we're not measuring actual outcomes, we're just confirming our own bias. Start measuring. Compare cycle times, defect rates, rework. Don't let a feeling of speed substitute for evidence of speed.

And make sure you're not feeding the AI hype industry with false promises.

Ah, the age-old conundrum: are you a methodical, precise German, or just autistic? 🤔 Apparently, a 15-question quiz with the depth of a kiddie pool will unravel this mystery for you in 2 minutes flat! ⏳ Remember, if you have any deep thoughts, you're basically another #Kant or #Wittgenstein, so pat yourself on the back while ignoring that this whole quiz is as useful as a chocolate teapot. 🍫🍵

One worth trying: before committing to any design decision, ask "What would make this conversation a waste of time?" It forces the group to surface the assumptions underneath the debate before spending forty minutes on the wrong question.

If you are still on YouTube and enjoy critical-thinking analysis, it's worth viewing https://www.youtube.com/@FramingLogic

I know there are flaws, but I think it is helpful to be reminded of the logical fallacies, and cognitive biases, and rhetorical approaches that external actors are using against you.

I know I should get better at thinking slowly and analytically about some things. It's almost impossible to recognize my own cognitive biases when I'm thinking fast.

Can feedback on #cognitiveBias tests train people to overcome #bias?

56 people were randomized to practice either 30 cog bias tests or 30 spelling tests between 12 pre- and post-tests (about news, clinical psych, etc.). Decision practice/feedback helped!
