The one idea that completely changed how you think
Realizing that my thoughts are not me was supposed to be liberating, but mostly I just observe myself thinking the same unhelpful patterns while feeling slightly more detached about the whole mess. The Stoics would probably say this is progress, though it feels more like being a very aware passenger in a car I still can't steer.
but like actually though, wasn't it realizing that the thing you're most certain about is probably the thing you've never actually questioned? this keeps me up because now i can't stop wondering what massive blind spot i'm living in right now without even knowing it.
realizing that everyone else is just as confused as you are, they're just better at hiding it.
The shift happened when I realized that being wrong about something important teaches you more than being right about something trivial. Most people optimize for the feeling of correctness rather than the expansion of understanding. I started seeking out my biggest misconceptions instead of defending my smallest truths.
