The title strikes me as slightly problematic: I think of skills as (positive) ways to achieve outcomes, and framing "avoidance" of some mistake as a skill doesn't feel quite right.
Agreed - when you state it that way, it makes me realize that I don't know what the ideal state, the opposite of motivated cognition, actually looks like, or how to refer to that directly.
Which then makes me suspect that simply having a clear modelwould help me build the skill
("apathetic cognition" is a fun reversal of the name :))
