Superskeptic "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion but not his own facts" We all are guilty, at some

point of our life, of believing falsehoods. We still believe what is explicitly wrong. Nowadays, in my
observation, people mostly abide by their superstitions and credences, not by rational thinking. Once we
have the belief, we tend to cling to it though it is pretty obvious that something is not right. We are
influenced by our societal and cultural forces. Once we see something that is agreed by a big number of
people, we tend to not examine the given information and just trust our super intuitive feeling and gut
feel. Despite our best intentions, it is easy to unconsciously buy into beliefs that feel right though they
are not. The rumors, forecasts, and the stories, they are mostly covered by some qualitative factor but
once we see them popped out on our news feed, or hear it from a known authority, we automatically
believe that this is actually true without further verification or something that might actually prove the
veracity of these. These days, we often refer to what internet has told and we forget to know the
fundamental truth of what it really is, or what is happening. We even ignore the data that came from a
real person or even if we did, we check it on internet if this was true. You know what, internet is not that
reliable. There are many unknown resources and the informations that are causing the internet to
spread something that is beyond the reality. We should not rely too much on internet.

Another example is the unhealthy relationship. You saw that you're woman is hooking up with another
man but when she tried to expound her reasons, you believe on it though it was clearly seen by your
naked eye that you're woman is clearly cheating on you. Man, you are in a toxic relationship. Do not be
blind by your need to love, look for someone else because believe me, there are many girls who are far
better than her. If you really love her, you will not tolerate her cheating. If you really love her, you
should let her go. However, there are cases that for family reasons, the couple are still staying married
not because they love each other but because they stay because of their children. If I were in the shoes
of those family-driven couple, I would do the same thing, to stay married but not married. It is vital that
we challenge our own beliefs, instead of instantly accepting what is told, we need to demand an
evidence from reliable decision makers. Ask for the data that might support the belief and hunt for the
information that tests it. Part of these processes is our own recognition of biased instincts and logical
fallacies.
