Oh yeah. Japan learning good. English learning bad. Not enough acknowledgement of its own bias in this book.

Great for tips on how to be a curious, open minded, and cautious intellectually but the constant mentions of climate change as the easy example of the truth to be recognized is a bit of a turn off. I don't deny climate change but the subject often brings along with it the implication that the government and spending will be the savior. Probably my bias. But recognizing it doesn't mean endorsing the popular strategies

What's the intelligence trap where you keep mentioning the exotic places where you travelled to have discussions? Lol one small thing I notice with books similar to this. It was really bad in Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. This book does it a bit too.

A bit biased even when indicating how to be less bias. Certainly liberal. Obviously that doesn't mean wrong. Good tips though. Real world practical help on "evidence based wisdom."
