Find empathy with people that have weird and objectionable views, and look at your friends through their eyes. Let others challenge your convictions. Replace right/wrong with true/false. Be suspicious of moral feelings, trace them to their source. See politics as a computer game.

Thanks, that's a good checklist! Do you think some kind of philosophy can help do it? I made up(discovered?) my own information theory and it seems to help make sense of my mind and my surroundings.

I am curios about your theory! And there is literature on cult deprogramming!

My theory is several statements that relate to each other. The first one is: Information MUST be stored somewhere. I call it a philosophical theory because I have no proof of that statement, I simply can't think of another way for information to exist.

The second: Information MUST flow. For me to acquire information it must make the journey from it's place of storage into my mind(brain). If you take a book you haven't read, you cannot know what's inside. You have to open the book and expose your eyes to it!

Maybe this sounds really obvious, but when you start to track the flows of information, you can start to figure out the things you know, and things you don't. I find this really profound.

Information doesn't have a meaning of it's own. Information is some kind of differences interpreted to have meaning. The instructions of how to interpret information are themselves information!

the meaning of information is its relationship to changes in other information
