Deliberately expose yourself to epistemic communities
Deliberately expose yourself to epistemic communities outside your primary professional circle on a regular schedule to prevent your social environment from becoming the sole determinant of what you can believe.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Culture Shapes Fundamental Cognition (cultural context shapes perception and cognition at a fundamental level) and Most organizational outcomes are products of system design, (most organizational outcomes are products of system design, not individual effort). The lesson shows that epistemic communities function as filters on what beliefs are accessible. This is prescriptive action derived from axioms about cultural shaping of cognition.
