if "dont trust, verify" is going to be an axiomatic rule for living, seems to me we should start with the basics.
So have we verified there's some persistent "self"?
most people seem to just assume it exists, i guess because theres a body walking around?
But the body gets sick and dies randomly, you cant prevent it. the simple fact you can observe the arc of its life demonstrates that the body isnt "myself".
who is it that knows the body?
all i can find is maybe some general tendancies and ideas that change slower than all the random thoughts and feelings.
nothing thats particularly consistent or lasting.

most people spend their entire lives searching for peers that agree with their established views.
this maximizes personal security and social cohesion at the expense of growth and innovative thinking.
have the courage to be unsafe and have contrary views.
