have been wondering recently what my blind spots are, what are beliefs I have that are unexamined or based on too little evidence for how much I believe them ...

maybe there are common patterns, that people commonly believe false things and I might be challenged in my own beliefs this way

Evolution, carbon dating, some physics topics

There's no way there's an entire spoon of plastic in my brain. I know that one study came to that conclusion but that study was wrong. Cmon people that's insane.

Economics. I think they're inexplicable, and yet clearly something is working.

I believe that the fact that there's a saying, "get four economist in a room and you'll get five opinions" is evidence that no one truly understands economics, but many only (wrongly) think they do. I personally believe it's a glitch in the matrix, a hot patch thrown in by developers when the simulation unexpectedly evolved beyond the capacity for barter/trade to handle the scale of the systems. It wasn't well or thoroughly designed, and frequently crashes (like the big one in the 30's, and periodic smaller ones since).

And yet... there's clearly something there.

I truly believe I am right about this.

is this like an attempt at "this sentence is false" or something, or did you forget to finish your thought?

If the shoe fits.
