Enlightening, thank you. Do you think that inability to obviously and intuitively make such economic distinctions is likely to hurt my rationality? (That is, would it be better to read a computer programming textbook or a microeconomics textbook if I wanted to be a master rationalist?)
It's a little difficult for me to give a good answer to this. I feel I reached the point of diminishing returns some time ago with computer programming textbooks (I'm a professional programmer) and have only relatively recently taught myself some economics. Both are valuable to a rationalist but I'm not sure which has higher value. I think learning some basic economics may have more instrumental value than learning programming if you're not going to make a living as a programmer however.
