the next time you’re feeling especially fired up about something, it’s a good moment to step back and consider a different point of view
Also, when I was in debate class I found that the best way to prepare was to actually argue the other side. In fact, the best grade I got on a debate was arguing AGAINST my personal opinion. And here’s the weird part: I changed my opinion on the subject (Should we build the SST. I went from yes to no.)
I think the best way to have a well founded belief system is to be your own devil’s advocate and to engage people with opposite point of views.
Most importantly it has to harmonious with reality and human nature. One sure way to know that your belief system sucks is if your constantly mad at the world.
That is why leftist are always raging at the world and wanting to change it. Their belief system is not in harmony with reality and are constantly wanting to change or deny reality.
