Minimization of Information
The foundations of the worldview are formed even before they are processed using S2. S2 allows you to "fine-tune" the worldview, change it if you find that it does not solve the problem. But the preference for certain models is formed before the inclusion of S2!
That is why it is so important to consume quality information. Repeated exposure to information allows it to be stored in memory. Such information is more often retrieved and used to build models and is more likely to be read by the brain as "plausible" and "probable." Therefore, it is important to carefully consider not only the quality of the books being studied, but also the quality of the news feed that "imbues" you with various worldviews on a daily basis.
It is even more important to care about information processing. There are two basic strategies in using information and other resources: "if something is not working, add more resources" vs "make better use of the existing resources." The second method is more labor-intensive, so it can be used to solve the most important problems. But it is this method that provides a qualitative leap in your skills. In addition, often agents have the necessary information to solve a problem but simply do not want to think about how to process and use it for a solution. Therefore, sometimes it is useful to approach problem-solving like this: "what if I already have the necessary knowledge and information to solve the problem? What if I identify important objects, try to choose the language to describe the problem and select a method to solve it?" Such reasoning will lead to a qualitative improvement in modeling skills and, ultimately, will increase your "speed to results": you will solve problems faster thanks to more advanced intellectual skills. Develop the habit of processing information and building models.
If you are collecting information or providing feedback, it is also important not to try to obtain "more information." You do not need "all" information about objects, including information collected "just in case." What is needed is information that allows you to solve the problem.
