Rationalists wasted years worrying about various named biases, like the conjunction fallacy or the planning fallacy. But most of the problems we really care about aren’t any of those. They’re more like whatever makes the global warming skeptic fail to connect with all the evidence for global warming.

Hence patterns of errors in the outcomes of thinking are not explained by biases but by whatever is sabotaging error correction.
