Statistics Saturday: How I Evaluate The Truth Of A Thing


I have an immediate spike of belief right after learning a thing, then start to doubt it, then stop doubting and come to believe in it more than I believe my name to be my name.
Give it a few months and you’ll be sure this is true.

This may explain the intractability of every argument you have ever had with someone, ever.
