I Notice I'm Confused

"I Notice I'm Confused" is created as an effort to make sense of a world aflame with conflict and misinformation at the start of Russo-Ukrainian war in 2022.

I lifted this phrase from Eliezer Yudkowsky article "Your Strength as a Rationalist":

"Your strength as a rationalist is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality. If you are equally good at explaining any outcome, you have zero knowledge. We are all weak, from time to time; the sad part is that I could have been stronger".

Noticing confusion is a helpful skill in a world of fake news, governmental lies and deliberate obfuscation of war. But while helpful in keeping a clear mind, it doesn't make the situation less hard. While critical thinking is a beacon, it does not spare us the emotional toll of reality.
