- Is Robin Hanson a fox or a hedgehog?

- Is Tyler Cowen a fox or a hedgehog?

Comment below, or e-mail me if you want your toughts to stay private.

I am 100% certain that Tyler Cowen is a fox. However, I cannot make up my mind on Robin Hanson. What do you think? – [I cannot even come up on whether Chris Masse is a fox or a hedgehog. ]

Addendum: Philip Tetlock‘s foxes and hedgehogs

UPDATE

Adam Siegel is no hedgehog.

Addendum

Here is the definition of a fox (as opposed to a hedgehog):

• a thinker who knows many little things, draws from an eclectic array of traditions, and is better able to improvise in response to changing events;
• a self-critical, eclectic thinker who is willing to update his/her beliefs when faced with contrary evidence, who is doubtful of grand schemes and is rather modest about his/her predictive ability.

P.S.: I am not “bi-polar”. I am a fox:

• a thinker who knows many little things, draws from an eclectic array of traditions, and is better able to improvise in response to changing events;
• a self-critical, eclectic thinker who is willing to update his/her beliefs when faced with contrary evidence, who is doubtful of grand schemes and is rather modest about his/her predictive ability.
