What preference falsification cascades are you patiently waiting for?

This (from Paul below) was my favorite response twitter.com/paulbaumgart/s…
Surprised no one mentioned the two I’m waiting for: male circumcision in the US (we still do this?!) and eating animals (once we have synthetic meat, if not earlier) twitter.com/paulbaumgart/s…

To name a few: Remote work for software companies becoming the norm. Banning cars and planting more trees in urban centers. Legalization of psychedelics. Japanese-style toilets in new home construction.

Thank you, these are fantastic. I too am patiently waiting for psychedelics to be legalized, which seems nearly possible?!, and for cars to be demoted, which seems impossibly remote ☹️

Preference falsification: how often is belief falsification preceding it? I think belief falsification is at least as important and is usually causally upstream.

Yeah I think you’re right. I actually originally wrote “higher-order belief cascades,” but changed it because I thought more people would understand the term “preference falsification cascade.”

That the Toy Story series is actually pretty mediocre.
I suspect I'll be waiting a long time.
Of course, I'll still be right!

To your point about preference falsification: I find the movies (well, the ones I've seen) boring enough that I have this sneaking suspicion that everyone else around me is merely pretending to like them. The alternative just seems inconceivable!
