Yes — belief can be a nasty thing. But it also drives progress. We "believe" that living entities deserve to be treated with some level of decency, etc. Sure it's possible to hedge our bets with humility and tolerance, but it comes at the cost of the potential upsides.

Our beliefs have led to some horrific outcomes over the past several hundred years. What interests me personally isn't how to believe less in order to avoid risk, it's how to believe in such a way that the resulting actions will improve our lives.

I don't like this idea that feelings of righteous indignation need to be moderated like some kind of proverbial addictive substance.

If you believe things, you will feel righteousness when they are (or are perceived to be) challenged.

The better question is: why do we believe what we believe? And why have these beliefs done so much harm?

Try to separate this into two separate questions: why do you want the things you want? And: why can’t you realize them?

We tend to implicitly accept the values of others and desire what they desire, even when it conflicts with our unique interests and abilities, which creates a painful inner conflict that is difficult to identify and articulate.

The second question is easier to answer (set good habits, etc.)

Is there a name for this line of thought? I’ve run into it a few times and find it compelling.

I understand spatial audio is the new thing, but what I want are consumer audio products that care about the time domain. Everything I’ve heard outside of the pro audio scene (studio and live) has “squishy” transients and lots of time smearing.
