 Ready Set Think (Blog)
comment
Ready, Set, Think! is an internet blog devoted to discussion about psychological phenomenon, social commentary, and criticism of many patterns in modern society. The blog asks philosophical questions, attempts to explain complex ideas and technologies in simple terms, and attempts to point out cognitive biases in everyday life. The writing style makes complex ideas easy to understand, but is sometimes too abstract to really be useful.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The blog is explicitly atheist, with the main contributor having a background in computer science and frequently talking about how technology and Artifical Intelligence might create a God in the future, but at the moment there is none.Transhumanist elements and the simulation hypothesis are recurring topics, mostly because of the fact that those two topics are closely related to philosophy and technology, in which the author is clearly very interested.

At Least I Admit It: Whenever mentioning or discussing a cognitive bias, the author will say that they are also victim to this all the time, but at least they admit it.

Agree to Disagree: When describing the terrorist attack in May 2017 during the Ariana Grande Concert, it is invoked by complaining about how people just won't do that for the greater good.

Ban on Politics: Since politics often bring flame wars and will usually make people angrier for no reason, the blog explicitly states that you should imagine their politically-neutral examples as examples that agree with your existing views, since this will get the point across more efficiently and also make it seem smarter to you.
