I completely disagree. "Seek to be disillusioned" seems like exactly the message I would want to convey, like "actively try to remove all your misconceptions" but shorter. "Learn to love being disillusioned" seems a bit weaker.
That's fine, just so long as it is not presented as "a useful tool for rationalists, much like the Litanies of Tarski and Gendlin". There's just an element of ironic arationality to it that would make excessive repetition here cringe-worthy.
I was meditating on the word "disillusionment" the other day, and it stuck me as odd that it has such a negative connotation... doesn't being disillusioned mean that you see a truth that was previously hidden from you by a mirage of falsehood? The human-universal negative emotional response to finding out you were wrong seems counterproductive in the extreme, and I'm still working towards eliminating it from my mind. So I crafted this brief litany, and I think that with some help from the LW community it could become a useful tool for rationalists, much like the Litanies of Tarski and Gendlin. My "first draft" is:
"If you love truth, learn to love finding out you were wrong. If you hate illusion, learn to love disillusionment. If your emotions are not appropriate to your values, do something about it!"
What say you?
