This post has gotten 3? downvotes and no comments. If you downvote it, it would help me if you left a comment saying why.
I haven't downvoted it, but the post looks like a few pages of personal notes with little effort spent to make them palatable or interesting to other people. A tl;dr and some explanation why anyone should care could help.
Everyone should care because the biases that are "close to home" are ones that matter. This is an important subject.
Normative versus descriptive. Saying "everyone should care" doesn't change the fact that some don't, and that for those people, a tidier presentation may help, even if it wouldn't make a difference for an ideal rationalist.
Regarding the subject as important is not at all exclusive of wanting a better presentation.
