Sort of, check out Overcomingbias.com, an on-line forum with posts on how to enhance our orientation toward truth-seeking. Contributors include Robin and also Nick Bostrom, my favorite young philosopher.
This is a noble endeavor. Virtually everyone thinks that the thought processes of others are laden with fallacies and bias. Yet most of us — once you get past the obligatory lip service to self-doubt — believe that our epistemic procedures are relatively immune from such problems. That can’t be right.
That said, I do not go as far as Robin in my desire to preach truth-seeking. With all due respect to the truth, I find something Quixotic in such a quest. I view Robin as believing in a kind of Archimedean point, from which we could be objective truth-seekers if only we had the will. My view is closer to that of Pascal. Yes we should seek self-improvement, but we are weak and in the dark no matter what. An excessive attachment to "truth-seeking," might even divert us from the pragmatic, skeptical pluralism — laden with a healthy dose of ego to get the work done — most likely to lead society closer to truth.
I agree with the concerns Tyler (and Pascal) pointed out. But when I look around me, I see rather too little truth-seeking, than too much.
With respect to reducing bias, what I’d really like to see (from Hanson and others) is some good rules-of-thumb for reducing one’s own bias in daily life.
One rule-of-thumb I’ve tried to apply in my work is: seek to collaborate (and socialize) if possible with people who approach questions differently than you (different training; different political/ ideological leanings..)…
Any other rules-of-thumb proposals are eagerly sought!
I don’t see myself as making any strong claim about how far we can go in this direction – just that we can and should try harder, and that creating and joining a community with this focus might help.
It sounds like an interesting blog, but I suspect many people who would care to contribute won’t decide to write an original essay on the topic of truth-discovery.
What does someone with lexicographic preferences for knowing the truth do all day?
April, if you’re looking for quick rules of thumb for the daily-life fight against bias, you might try “Twelve Virtues of Rationality” (http://yudkowsky.net/virtues/).
