These ideas are not exactly new but they aren't exactly trivial either. Why are there so many downvotes then? This community confuses me sometimes in their voting behaviour.
I think part of the reason is the reputation adamzerner has. I'm thinking in particular of this earlier post, that convinced me that adamzerner is a very irrational person. This initial bad impression probably influenced what people thought of this article.
Fundamental Attribution Error? The heuristic of being mindful of the word "is" seems useful here.
Also, I read a lot of my old posts and cringe. If I saw a similar post by somebody other than myself, I would dismiss them as hopelessly irrational. Thus, I'm less quick about dismissing people as irrational.
