#2A nice list of things to keep in mind. But just to keep in mind, not to believe definitively.
With Base Rate, for example, yes, if you attempting to succeed at something that many others have failed at, you should know why you expect to succeed and track your beliefs as you about the effort.

#3I’m enjoying lists like this. They’re like pocket versions of “This book will make you smarter”. Here’s another: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1225561131122597896.html

It's a fun list but I think the list will make you smarter if you take each ideas as possibility to play with in a given situation or as a toolbox of ideas to use or not depending on the situation. I think the list could make you dumber if you use it as a series of pat-answers to complicated situations, ie, so you can avoid thinking the particular details involved.

#5"Fact-Check Scarcity Principle: This article is called 100 Little Ideas but there are fewer than 100 ideas. 99% of readers won’t notice because they’re not checking, and most of those who notice won’t say anything. Don’t believe everything you read."
I was thinking to myself "this is an amazing list" until I came across that cheeky snippet. Now I'm confused; is the point to make readers critically evaluate each of the listed theories?

#6Nice list! I have one note where I collect "concepts" like these, too.
Example: Pygmalion effect: or Rosenthal effect, is the phenomenon whereby others' expectations of a target person affect the target person's performance. Based on antique Pygmalion whose sculpture became a real women over time
This link will definitely help to grow my list :)

#7"The 90-9-1 Rule: In social media networks, 90% of users just read content, 9% of users contribute a little content, and 1% of users contribute almost all the content."
What percentage of people started typing something, deleted it, started typing something else, then gave up when they realized they had nothing of value to contribute or out of fear of rejection?

Let's not forget the (classic by now) The Simpsons:

Well, in fact the first one "Depressive Realism" is a common (false) myth. Depressed people tend to have distorted thoughts about reality with a strong negative bias.
A typical distorted though is over-generalization. For instance: if a depressed person fails to pass an exam, he may think that he will never be able to pass that exam and his life is a complete failure because of that. Of course that though is NOT the reality. The reality is that he probably need prepare better for that exam, but that does not mean that his life is a complete failure.
If someone is interested in this topic I recommend the book "Feeling good" by David Burns.
