On an individual level I appreciate things like Scott Alexander’s Mistakes list, pinned at the top of his blog, on “times I was fundamentally wrong about a major part of a post and someone was able to convince me of it”. I’d appreciate it if more public intellectuals did this.
I’d add Maternal Health Initiative is Shutting Down by Ben Williamson and Sarah Eustis-Guthrie. Their Asterisk article Why we shut down is great too.
