RE: You do not "choose" your beliefs. You are (EITHER) CONVINCED (OR) UNCONVINCED.
Having undertaken the arduous task of assessing my beliefs, I can but concur that we are easily delivered them, but only dissuaded them with great difficulty. I have become confident that upon careful examination of my physical capabilities, the bandwidth available, and my processing power, that I am wrong to some degree about everything I believe.
As a result of my harrowing re-examination of my basal beliefs in the light of this capability, I have become far less judgmental of others, and even less dogmatic regarding my own current assessment of reality.
Thanks!
On those occasions when I have encountered new information and changed a belief I have always received negativity. It always surprises me
That's unfortunate, but there are people (and I'm actively seeking them out) who appreciate open civil debate and a willingness to entertain alternative perspectives (and appreciate a scathing critique).
I agree 100%.
I continuously strive to be "less wrong".
