Routinely, I step out my ideological bubbles and ask myself whether I could actually be wrong about everything I hold dear. I try to read opposite viewpoints and seriously consider their arguments. This pattern of truth-seeking led me to a lot of ideological turnarounds in my life; I have few beliefs in common with my teenage self.
So far, I haven't seen any evidence that the bluepill is more correct than the blackpill despite its superior popularity. Analyzing the bluepill is hard in the first place because there is no consistent thesis, just a patchwork of poorly reasoned, poorly demonstrated superstitions that are related only in their refusal to consider the truth of evolutionary psychology; or in other words, the possibility that the human brain still harbors primitive areas where reason often fails to rule.
