Use external pattern analysis (computational or collaborative) to detect evaluative biases in your own judgment history that introspection cannot reveal.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Bias Blind Spot Asymmetry (bias blind spot), Hindsight Bias and Calibration Necessity (memory reconstructs to match outcomes), and Automaticity Without Conscious Control (automatic processes lack conscious awareness). The principle prescribes using AI or structured review to surface patterns across many decisions that you cannot see from inside your own perspective. Actionable and domain-general.

Source Lessons

L-0097

Habitual judgments become invisible

Evaluations you make so often that you no longer notice them are the most dangerous.

L-0110

Second-order patterns

Patterns in how your patterns form and dissolve — meta-patterns — are especially valuable.
