The Pros and Cons of Beliefs From Your Tribe
The problem is that we end up following the dictates of our tribe without thinking critically about that. The most brain dead tribal followers seem to be the ones who just cannot shut the hell up about how they're independent thinkers. If all your friends also believe the same thing that you're believing, then you're being exposed to the same opinion. Just because I voted Democrat in the last election doesn't make me a Democrat, I'm not going to pause critical thinking. It's almost like the more you feel like you've got a really strong logical filter, the more easy it is for the tribe to drop a random belief on you and you just swallow that shit hole.
