Many of mine are of the form "I only believe this due to luck in being exposed to the right environment (I might not have derived it myself), but an alternate-me would probably come to hold the same belief if they later encountered the same arguments". E.g. effective altruism

I guess it shouldn't surprise me, but it blows my mind how each time I answer one of your polls my answer ends up being the same as most popular answer.

My only tilt high level belief is that the main reason we are here, and have this life to live, is to LOVE. I would hope that no matter who raised me, I would eventually have come to that same conclusion.

This depends on how different the different people are. A different family in America? Mostly the same. A family in Japan? Possibly completely different.

"accidental" can mean unintentional or by chance. all beliefs are intentional, all are defined by circumstance (chance), since intentions and choices are defined by genes and environment. this framing seems to encourage a false dichotomy between choice and chance.

this just seems like a fuzzier way of asking "does free will exist?", unless you narrow it down to the specific of "how susceptible are your beliefs to environmental vs genetic factors?", which no one has enough data on to have a good or interesting answer.

Almost impossible question to answer, since we have no idea what another set of life experiences would have led to. If I’d had access to all the information I’ve had in this life? I would guess 80-90% of my beliefs would be very similar.
