I've always believed most deeply that there was a reason for everything. This belief has been with me all my life despite encountering a ton of things that had no apparent reason whatsoever. The idea was that not knowing the reason didn't mean that there wasn't one; I was just currently ignorant of it.
I know how popular the idea that beliefs cause bias is, so when I woke up this morning my mind sort of jumped to the idea that that belief of mine might be causing problem for my cognition. I've probably avoided thinking a lot of types of things by holding this belief. Using logistic reasoning it's obvious to see what my mind did next: Time for a new metacognitive experiment.
I've spent my entire life believing that there was a reason for everything. I'm still not questioning that belief, but I've let go of my lifelong insistence that my thoughts have to make sense/be filled with all the logic I can fathom. No longer will I moderate my thoughts for quality and consistency of reason.
>What can or should I expect now Veeky Forums? If anything. Is letting go of a natural tendency expected to have any observable (or internally sensable) consequences or are intents of this variety not causative to cognition in first place?

Come on Veeky Forums. If you don't make a prediction you know someone else will, and you know that nine times out of ten it'll just end up being unfalsifiable platitudes. Any falsifiable hypothesis is better than no hypothesis at all.

Why is OP such a blogposting faggot?

I figure a lot of you share this belief and would be interested in studying the efforts of temporarily abandoning it.

As any other logical being would see it there is indeed always a reason for everything and a very good one to unplug your head from your ass and never forget such a basic concept as eficiency and counter productivity You apply reason to define the lack of it and not moderating your thoughts for the quality and consistency of reason is like saying you want want be stupid and or irrational bcuzz you r bored or fucking dumb enough to waste time "filling logic with logic" when life and everything in it has no intrinsic value.

I'll guess that you believe there is a cause for everything going back ad infinitum. Pic related are reactions to it.
