Not really, you believe it yourself. You don't put up much resistance, it's just kind of "this is convenient, therefore it must be the truth, and these pesky contradicting facts probably have some other good explanation".
- TeMPOraL 6y agoIf you believe it yourself. What I'm saying is, I don't think you can think yourself into believing something on purpose, when you didn't believe it before, and know that thing is wrong. You'll need a round-trip through other people (external validation), for your brain to stop seeing "motivated reasoning" tag on arguments.
