When trying to discover things that are true, you’ll find yourself against many opponents, internal and external.
Externally, you’ll find yourself opposed by anyone who has a stake in the lie, anyone who’s simply confused, and anyone who is simply more distracting than the truth you’re seeking.
Internally, you’ll be opposed by confirmation bias, the limits of your own curiosity, and the comfort of the lie that makes you happy.
The more you get angry at any of this, the more vulnerable to all of it you become. Stay humble, stay calm, stay curious. The truth is in those traits.
