I just listened to Robin Hanson's pale blue dot interview. It sounds like he focuses more on motives than I do.

Yes, if you give most/all people a list of biases, they will use it less like a list of potential pitfalls and more like a list of accusations. Yes, most, if not all, aren't perfect truth-seekers for reasons that make evolutionary sense.

But I wouldn't mind living in a society where using biases/logical fallacies results in a loss of status. You don't have to be a truth-seeker to want to seem like a truth-seeker. Striving to overcome bias still seems like a good goal.

Edit: For example, someone can be a truth-seeking scientist if they are doing it to answer questions or if they're doing it for the chicks.
