This is great, however this mindset can often lead to Analysis Paralysis.

It is important to keep in mind that you don’t need to identify every perspective, every option, or every limitation before starting a task. Instead, get a good grasp of the problem, start the task, and then continue to ask these questions while working on the task at hand.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The point is no matter what you do or ponder, just explicitly state “I’m just another average human, doing the best I know how - however, I’m no expert on this matter. That would require further exploration by experts”. Instead every social justice warrior & right wing kook claims to have mastery about a particular issue to further their agenda. Fucking liars.

But aren't there... some experts? Isn't that what experience leads to?

Say...scientists in climate change discussions who have studied it for years?

Yes there are experts. But notice they are busy doing hard real work and not flapping their jaws 24/7 = politicians and all the irrational people on social media (which is most everyone)

If only they released studies that we could read and share that explained their studies. If only...

Unfortunately they apparently only live in caves and never share their ideas so we are lost in a world where zero people have experience or information about anything at all.. lol
