Can I vs Must I

Whenever your brain encounters information it finds threatening to your pride, it asks itself “Must I believe this?” Whenever it encounters information it finds reaffirming, it asks eagerly, “Can I believe this?” I know I am not exempt. No one is. I am eager to believe this. The thing is, I think this is enough to confront the “must I?” If it’s not, tell me why. https://escipub.com/Articles/IRJPH/IRJPH-2021-08-1005.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3kHdPDrgIgXDgebZDAF_xfKB9oMdeF9yzNaGeeRyRr8gUO-4CTUfX9TQk

To be fair, this phenomenon goes both ways. Can we deliberately rise above it?  https://theliberalpatriot.substack.com/p/the-fox-news-fallacy
