How should one train, to become a trained human being?

The general idea is to get lots of practice and feedback. The practice improves the skill, and the feedback improves the calibration. Lichtenstein & Fischhoff is an early paper on the subject of calibration training, but searching for terms like calibration training and debiasing will turn up many more.

I think you take a few levels in Human Paragon. It doesn't matter how you train as long as you accumulate enough XP doing it.
