The real growth feels like learning to identify what goes in which category

Are there objective delineating characteristics that you’ve noticed for what goes in which category, i.e. increased life experience/study/personal meditation?

Trusting my curiosity mostly? It turns out the things I have more confidence in are highly correlated to how much my curiosity has driven me into those topics. And I mean momentum-y curiosity, not like curiosity that gets satisfied from the sidelines by some pop sci articles

I'm feeling dramatically increased confidence re: putting words on spirituality. Recently I had decreased confidence on economics.

"The more you know, the more you realize you don't know."
Might seem like a quote to boost self esteem, but it's important for the "categories." One of the easiest biases you can fall into is hindsight bias. Eliminate that (know what you don't know) and the rest falls into place

These thoughts have given me more insight into what different world views can actually mean. How two “good” people can interpret things in completely opposite ways

You are one of the smartest people I’ve come across so far. Glad you’re finding more confidence in your ability to understand situations with clarity.
