What´s your opinion on Farnam Street?
Hey WSO, I assume most of us are pretty smart and somewhat intellectually curious. I atleast hope I am. Because of that, I wanted to ask you what y´all monkeys think of Farnam Street, the blog to "Upgrade your thinking."?
The blog, started by Shane Parrish, a Canadian spy, proclaims to improve your decision making ability by various articles designed to make you challenge your thinking, inspire you and give you a perspective on various intellectual challenges experienced by humans. The entries are really non-partisan, including both classic philosophy and guys like Taleb or Kahnemann/Tversky, both writers and scientists, and so on, basically any content to make you think and reflect on yourself.
For those familiar with it, what do you think about it? How do you deal with that inevitable self doubt creeping in your mind when you read the articles? What were your favourite ones, if any?
And for those of you who don´t know it yet, please, please check it out. You literally can not go wrong doing it. After all, the foundation of philosophy is curiosity.
Not a ton to add but I am a fan of their stuff. Been awhile since I've looked at the website so thanks for reminding me. Just signed up for the weekly newsletter. I wouldn't feel any self-doubt when reading their articles, you are moving the right direction by reading it.
It´s not so much a matter of that destructive creeping self-doubt, but more of critical self-examination, I think.
Fan of the blogs, but I find Shanes voice pretty annoying on the podcasts.
His voice in unbearably annoying and his questions are generally really dumb as he's trying to corral them into answering a certain way (what he recommends on his blogs) and they almost never do anyway

The new one is great, for all us insecure young hardos: No one gives a shit and you´re probably fooling them well enough.
