How do you notice when you're rationalizing? Like, what *actually* tips you off, in real life?
I've listed my cues below; please add your own (one idea per comment), and upvote the comments that you either: (a) use; or (b) will now try using.
I'll be using this list in a trial rationality seminar on Wednesday; it also sounds useful in general.
Cue of not rationalizing: I am picturing the two possible outcomes (from deciding correctly/incorrectly), feel fear (lest I end up with the bad outcome), and find my attention spontaneously on the considerations that seem as though they'll actually help with that.
