It's a mixture of qualities; education, scepticism, and original
thinking are the key ones. Some cultures discourage this sort of
thinking and promote an unquestioning attitude that takes whatever is
presented on face value. For me as a scientist my own upbringing
placed a lot of value on the opposite life-stance.
> i think what you say you experience is not true.
That is an unfair characterisation of what I said. Truth or falsehood
hardly applies to experience. I am suggesting there's an alternative
way of looking at what people report than "overwhelming" choice. That
may apply to you. It may not. Make your own path.
I think maybe you took what was intended as a general observation
about this phenomenon as a rebuke of your personal experience.
> disregard all the literature on the subject too!
One TED talk and a book (albeit a good one) does not really count as
"all the literature".
I wish I could understand you better. Does encountering other points
of view feel "offensive" because you disagree? Does it feel like
invalidates something you believe in, in a "personal" way (like an
attack)? Or do you really feel uncomfortable with sceptical thinking?
