I can understand why the bar is very different for organisations to react to information—some need to react very fast (startups), some need to be very cautious (judiciaries). But does that also apply to individual’s personal opinions?
I was thinking that individuals have different background beliefs (and different attentional/incentive environments), and these things create differences in what it will take to change people’s minds. E.g. some people in the community are much closer to agreement with techno-pessimists than others—they’ll likely have a lower burden of proof.
note most systemic change is not constrained by capital alone
Agreed, I had a broad definition of “resources” in mind (including e.g. labor/careers, connections), but I could have been more clear.
