Could you list something like the ten most important words for rationality that the average person doesn't know and where they would benefit from learning them?
It's hard, because "rationality" is really general. This would be a lot easier with something more domain specific (epistemology? emotional regulation? efficiency?). Here's an attempt to start a list though:
Necessary and Sufficient - helps verbalize many real world logic problems
Opportunity Cost -" Your current action might be beneficial, but what could you be doing instead?"
Diminishing Returns-"Doing what worked before isn't always the best strategy
Rate-Limiting-Step- To speed up any process, Identify it
Pleiotropic constraint - (try applying it to non-genetic things)
implicit / explicit
I missed one of those words "pleiotropic", I add it to Anki. How wwould the 10 or 20 word list look like for epistemology/emotional regulation/efficiency?
