And so it's so interesting is that I think of it as a...
as a skepticism spectrum.
So on one side, it's like a filter in your head, a filter in the beliefs section of your brain.
On one end of the spectrum, you are gullible, perfectly gullible.
You believe anything someone says, right?
On the other side, you're paranoid.
You think everyone's lying to you, right?
Everything is false.
Nothing that anyone says is true, right?
So obviously those aren't good places to be.
Now, the healthy place, I think that the...
So I think the healthy place is to be somewhere in the middle, but also you can learn to trust certain sources and then you don't have to apply as much skepticism to them.
And so here's what, like, when you start having a bias, just say you have a political bias,
When your side says something, you will find yourself moving towards the gullible side of the spectrum.
You read an article written that supports your views, you move to the gullible side of the spectrum, and you just believe it, and you don't have any, where's that skepticism that you normally have, right?
And then you move, and then you, as soon as it's the other person talking, the other team talking, you move to the skeptical, the closer to the, you know, in denial, paranoid side.
Now, flat earthers are the extreme.
They are either 10 or 1.

I'm not gullible.
