My trick to do so, when I receive a message of someone, I write my answer but I don't send it. After a walk, a workout, a meal, a day or so later, my answer is much more digested and epistemically respectful, I can update the text and send. ## Update your [[Philosophy/Epistemology/Knowledge|knowledge]] before answering When the message contains something we don't understand, instead of using others' brain power, use Google and update your [[Philosophy/Epistemology/Knowledge|knowledge]]. In some use cases which are time-critical, for the benefit of the swarm, [[Human search is still more powerful than Google search]] so you have to use others' brain computation. # External links
