I mean, we all hear about people thinking what they think only because the people around them think it too. So how do you avoid doing that?

I think that isolating oneself in a cave might be best.

Imagine an illusion, the matrix, built not of scifi machinery but of habit, maintained by the presence of others.

Get alone and the habits dissolve. And then the invisible becomes visible.

My therapist likes to remind me that life has to be a balance. New experiences with people, and quiet time to reflect. You can’t lean too heavily into either extreme without harm.
