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.

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.
