Welcome to this community!

Hello and welcome! For about half a year I’ve been researching about the ways belief systems get built, and how new information can change and refine those belief systems.

It’s a bit unusual for me to set up a community. I essentially wanted a platform to discuss these things with others, and to share what I’ve learnt, as I think it is fascinating. Things like the way new information gets processed into mental systems, how these systems can have shortcomings and lead to bias, how these systems are challenged and refined, the way the human brain is structured to predict and manipulate the world, but also to refine these predictive models, and much much more, anything like that.

Expect posts from me about the relationship between synthesis and analysis, between generalists and analysts, between depth and breadth and the way knowledge works.

Please also post yourself, as I’d love to hear more perspectives!
