That may be true for you, or even for most people on LW. In my case, though, explicit conscious reasoning about how to maximize utility (1) underperformed taking advice from people smarter than myself, and (2) failed to result in useful action.
I know, but I feel like maybe we're missing a third option. Like, if we further bootstrapped our explicit conscious reasoning then we wouldn't have to rely on cheap tricks. It is impossible to go too meta.
Let me know if you figure out how to do that. In the meantime, I'm going to continue using the least bad known option.
