This question can inspire levels of fury beyond my understanding, which is why I couldn’t have casually posed it on Reddit. This seems like a more good faith kind of crowd so I’ll ask it here.

This is a question I’ve put a lot of thought into for myself since 2020. I’m interested in my ideas being criticized and perhaps to criticize the ideas of others (Note: Not criticizing people or their character. Only ideas). I’m going to post my own answer in the comments.

Ha. As if there's a process. I just stumble across a hill one day and realizing I'm willing to die on it.

Regardless of what I've professed, I've discovered that many of my own beliefs were without basis once they were challenged and likely many still are. This is a very human thing I think about a lot.
