What a great topic. I will be awaiting your future posts on Stoicism!
Believing everything that we think is somewhat of a social convention.
We must believe many things we are taught to interact with society in a non chaotic manner. The red light at the traffic signal means stop.
This serves a great purpose obviously we don't have to stop and analyze its relevance or value. However many people take this and apply it to all acquired knowledge. I would go so far as to say this is the norm.
I reject this.
Accomplishing it is another matter.
How does one completely stop the chatter of ones own brain about what it thinks it knows and objectively analyze the rightness and value of the loops set in motion moving onward from birth.
A difficult task indeed.
Worthy I believe nonetheless.

Difficult but not impossible. Awareness definitely helps, but that's a whole different topic I might go in later.
