- dwaltrip 7y agoIt's a good reminder to be skeptical of our own beliefs and ways of thinking. Foolish thoughts, tribal biases, and motivated reasoning -- to name just a few distortions of reality -- are things that every human experiences. I like to think is possible to get better at it. For me, things like meditation help, as the ego is often a main hindrance.
