I use to consider as truth what other people says for a limited time frame, and test it in real life. I don't care about the person making money or not, just about if what the person does improve my life or not, or gives me an insight.
When I was a kid I used to be the "know it all" rational child witch only believes what it could understand, but as the Buddhist say "if you make the wrong questions, you get the wrong answers", we know it today as "garbage in, garbage out", no matter how powerful is your processing unit or the processing time if you supply it with bad data, you get bad conclusions.
I continue trying to understand "everything", but the time frame of "suspended belief" lets me to experiment without judging. If you rationalize too much you could become the ancient Greek that despised experience. The current ideas(beliefs) in your mind fight against possible new ones.
e.g. Some people(most of them) suffer from being wrong, your "ego" responds with pain, you could feel hurt if someone publicly prove you are wrong, so the obvious solution for your brain to protect you is to put down external ideas. Everybody wants to change the world, nobody(few) wants to change herself.
