“And with the right mentor, don't be afraid to expose your vulnerabilities. Admit you don't know what you don't know. When you acknowledge your weaknesses and ask for advice, you'll be surprised how much others will help.”
“One of chief pieces of advice I give to aspiring rationalists is "Don't try to be clever." And, "Listen to those quiet, nagging doubts." If you don't know, you don't know what you don't know, you don't know how much you don't know, and you don't know how much you needed to know.”
“Never be afraid of doing the thing you know in your heart is right, even if others don't agree.”
“Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it / immediately.”
“If you know what's right, then you'll do the right thing. If you don't know what's right, then who's to say what you'll do!”
“Never ask people. Not about your work. Don't you know what you want? How can you stand it, not to know?”
