Status Updates From The Intelligence Trap

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."
