We should all require more evidence for convenient opinions than inconvenient ones.
By now everyone has heard the term deliberate practice, but it's easy to forget the heart of the idea is that it's uncomfortable. You're not out there dicking around at stuff you're great at and having fun, you're mindfully working on weaknesses, trying to find the frontier of your abilities.
There's something about that attitude that's telling. If your media diet is like slipping into a warm bath, that's a warning. It doesn't matter if it's a warm bath of outrage, if it's that familiar vibe that already holds your shape, beware.
At least, beware if your goal is to understand anything complex.

Huh -- I'd be interested to hear how the topic projected into a therapeutic session, if you'd care to share.
We should all require more evidence for convenient opinions than inconvenient ones. I try to live this way, and probably fail more than I know, but when I succeed it must make me seem like an uncertain bitch.
I think a lot of bitcoiners make this mistake with stablecoins. They're succeeding now, but certainly they must fail because they are more of the same. They could fail, and I hope they do, but there's very little sensitivity to KYC/AML among the bitcoiners predicting stablecoins will fail, let alone everyone else. So long as stablecoins don't make all of the mistakes that banks made, it's possible that bitcoin never competes as a white market MoE.
Americans make a related mistake wrt to China becoming the dominant world power. Most trends show they'll overtake us, but certainly they must fail because they aren't free like we are.
