Not gain knowledge or gain the right knowledge or even think better, because those are constrained to certain assumptions. I want to escape illusions. How do I do that and get better at that?

    Learning new perspectives means you just need to learn more, get out of your comfort zone, entertain new ideas, do a lot of thought experiments. BUT you have to be aware of propaganda and misinformation techniques, so my original thoughts still work.

    There’s a saying that the mark of intelligence is entertaining an idea without accepting it. Entertain ideas, learn how to analyze them, watch out for fallacies from them and from yourself.
