That which the truth nourishes should thrive

That which the truth nourishes should thrive

The phrase is from Eliezer Yudkowsky’s writings.

The general idea here is that when in doubt, the truth should flourish. It’s a good rule of thumb that has allowed me to push through embarrassment in different situations: admitting the mistakes I’ve made more quickly, trying to communicate more.

I am very far from perfect at exercising this idea fully, but it’s one that I’ve seen some mileage from.
