Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• There are things I treat as plain facts about myself and the world, and I’m starting to suspect some of them are just views I’ve never questioned
• I’m stuck in a knot over a decision and I keep treating my read of it as plain fact
• There’s this thing I’m treating as obviously true and building everything on top of
• I can spot everyone else’s blind spots instantly
• In my head the things I’m sure of and the things I’m just guessing at all run together as one blur, so I end up treating my assumptions like hard limits
