>>I read books on how to not trust myself.
I try to do the same. As Feynman said (paraphrased) It’s important to not be fooled - and we are the easiest to fool.
In reading history, the hard part is remembering that things in the past, even though they seem inevitable and certain to us in hindsight, are uncertain and contingent to people who live through them.
There are books on this? Got any to recommend?
