This list traffic, I find, has a mix of fraternalism and adversarialism that can be both disarming and uncomfortable at times, which I believe is part of the reason for the lurker/poster and the female/male participant ratios. I may not be calibrated well on that topic. It is just an intuition.
In any case, the following Edge lecture on "Adversarial Collaboration" really rung a bell with me:
https://www.edge.org/adversarial-collaboration-daniel-kahneman He covered several interesting and relevant (to me) topics: 1. Confirmation Bias is widespread, insidious, and hard to detect in oneself. 2. People don't change their minds. 3. Healthy attempts to change another's mind can be beneficial to both sides in spite of the above. 5. "Angry Science" is supported by mob/tribalism, but does not serve. 5. "Adversarial Collaboration" is a good alternative to "Angry Science" And most poignant to my own aging/transition process:*/Old people don't really kick themselves. Their regret is wistful, almost pleasant. It's not emotionally intense./*
All in all, I found the topic and Kahneman's treatment very interesting, both in observing the general progress of Science and in my own navigation through this ever-expandingly complex world, with or without the help of experts and peers.
