Not that I would want to write a version of everything makes sense for LessWrong, but if I did, it might look something like this:
- lesswrong.com/posts/KaByYSRwSLdscGYB6/actually-updating
  - > The thing that changed and allowed me to actually start updating more efficiently was that I actually started believing that all parts of me are pretty smart.
  - > I started believing this because I started actually listening to myself and realised that these parts of me weren’t saying the ‘obviously wrong’ things I thought they were saying.
  - > I began to stop just listening to experts and going ‘what they are saying makes sense’ and started having conversations where I just entirely let the part of me that disagreed say all the reasons it disagreed and ‘fight’ the expert. I allowed that part of me to have contact with the world and this meant that part of me could learn. And it worked.
