I am so happy I learned about Philosophical Pragmatism. If its useful use it, if its not useful don't use it.

Replicated studies can likely be replicated under the same conditions.

N=1 means you might be able to believe it, but if the results contradict reality, toss it out.

I no longer feel like I need to 'trust science'. No need to trust. Use it if its useful, don't if its not.

This has eliminated those grandiose happy papers that propose a pretty popular fair world that contradict what we actually see.
