seriously just learn about all the various cognitive biases and actively counteract them and you will be halfway to being as wise as i am

most of the mistakes people make are well understood and documented ... but nobody wants to learn this stuff because people prefer feeling good and believing that they are right to actually being right

nobody actually wants to be right - people just want to be told that they are right while continuing to to be wrong in exactly the same way as always never having to change

i learned this the hard way by spending the last 20 years trying to open their eyes

quoting nevent1q…thwr

we naturally suffer from confirmation and normalcy biases

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias

to discover the truth all you have to do is consciously go in the opposite direction of these but also all the other biases

whenever i detect somebody is preaching to the choir ( Confirmation Bias / Lyn Alden ) i block them.

whenever anybody says "Jesus Loves You / It's all Part of the Plan / We're All Gonna Make It" ( Normalcy Bias / Poast ) i block them too.

whenever anybody tries to downplay something dark or sinister ( Jewish power isn't that great etc. ) i block them.

you can see who i am following on X here:

i also like to read Robert Greene

but mostly i just think.

the darker the thoughts the closer they are to the truth.
