Overcoming Bias After One Year
The first Overcoming Bias post was one year ago today. Since then we have had a half million distinct reader visits, over twelve thousand comments, and a bit over two posts per day. Technorati puts us at rank 7,946 among all blogs with 2,281 blog reactions.
I’ve been wondering for a while if I should be blogging. Blogging is less of a conversation than I’d hoped, even among blog coauthors. It feels great to quickly put an idea "out there" in an accessible form, but I’m not sure such ideas have much chance to be built on by others. And it does take time.
So I’ve decided to split the difference and switch from six to three posts per week. Eliezer will still probably keep posting daily, at least for a while.
Happy Birthday, belatedly, and thanks to EY and BH. Yes your creativity is appreciated, at whatever rhythm suits you. Intelligence is a wonderful thing, not many natural phenomena are self correcting.
I have just spent the past hour or so reading the input on this Blog, 1) I find it all, for the most part, extremely interesting and intellectually stimulating, I would hope that actually there was a mechanism to expand it and add contributors--as I am sure there is a large pool of academics and others interested in the subjects presented..as you may see from some of the more active ( financially realted blog sites) there is a mechanism for a "tip" that might allow more time, not less to this blog's sponsors and others to contribute---this meaningful discourse and hope it can be expanded, nationally and globally as the topics are of considerable import to a wide field of us seeking insights into intrinsic human behavioral traits...more not less!
