Updated Beliefs (examples thereof)

Edited by Kaj_Sotala, gustaf, et al. last updated 7th Oct 2025

Updated Beliefs is a report of general beliefs or perspectives that one has substantially changed their mind about. A post on this may share what one used to think, what the new views are, and what caused the change. Sharing such accounts publicly is prosocial and allows others to learn from one's experience too.
