I'm confused (as usual) by all the downvoting with no comment; if people feel strongly enough to vote "I want to see less of this kind of content", they should be willing to explain why. At a guess, people probably want to see a short summary added to the post. In this case, a description of Hanlon's Razor and the reason you found the linked article especially helpful might improve reception.

Thanks for the feedback kithpendragon!

In this case, I wrote the article, but it's not really an article.

It's a set of exercises made for myself and others looking to practice certain concepts / mental models (this week was Hanlon's Razor).

I find it hard to make "rationality" or "thinking through things the right way" a habit with current resources (books, conversations, talks, life choices, etc).

So I'm attempting to make something I want for myself that I can't find, a learning platform for decision-making/rationality.

Next time I post, I'll make sure to take your advice and include a description and specifically write that I want feedback.
