How I perceive information from the outside:
1. If I cannot check someone’s conclusion because I do not have the necessary context, I do not support it, but I do not reject it either. For example, I will not use examples from media, science, economics, and so on as an argument, because I do not know the context deeply enough to check everything through my own logic from start to finish.
2. If I can logically explain why something does not work for me, then no matter how common the conviction is, and no matter how many years people have treated it as “right,” I will still stick to my own opinion.
3. If I agree with information from the outside, it means I can explain in detail why I support this position.
That is, first of all, I carefully analyze my own opinion and, when needed, compare it with other people’s views, but in the end, I make decisions based on my own analysis.

Because everyone sees the world in their own way + no one knows the truth.
So, following someone or something is like people in different cities trying to get to a grocery store using a navigation app that only shows Tokyo. Meaning, the drivers will face some level of difficulty, even though the idea of a grocery store exists in almost every city, along with many other common things.
But if the drivers relied on their own perception – on their understanding of the unique reality they live in – then these difficulties: pain, stress, loss of time, energy, and other resources – could be avoided completely.
In other words, science, media, philosophy, statements by public figures, parents’ advice, and so on – no information from the outside can be perceived by a person as a constructive conviction until they have explained to themselves why it deserves to become their anchor. Otherwise, a person puts the quality of their future at great risk.
Therefore:

As long as a person’s actions do not break the principle of personal reality (they do not cross their own or other people’s boundaries).
