You're not harnessing your biases, you're harnessing your pride. So do I, in various ways.
In all frankness... I would have voted up your post except for the title. I'm fatigued of such clevernesses.
I found more value in “maybe I need to set up a blog of things I have read that I think are true” than in the extremely broad topic of “harness your biases”. If I were editing the article I would throw out that topic and keep the particular notion of improving your knowledge by preparing it for publication.
Agreed (and I should have thought of that, instead of stopping upon my annoyance).
Granted, the title was probably too flip, but I think yours is a little wordy. I'm not sure I can do better at the moment other than maybe something like "Self-Publication as a Truth Filter".
Go ahead and change it. It won't break any links.
Clarification: My quotation from your article was not intended to be a suggestion of a title.
I feel your post is related to Eliezer's "Say It Loud". That by the way is a great title, try to do no worse.
Yes... 'bias' is normative; at least, that's how we treat it here. Suggesting that a bias could be positive is inconsistent - better might be to say "maybe this isn't a bias after all".
