Whenever I catch myself believing I have a unique world-changing insight, I just need to think some more to then realise what is ignorant/grandiose about it.

(As an example; the actual reason for wars is not ideological, or "hate", or failure to communicate, or anything such. It's just "fighting for resources".)
