I've been trying to adopt a new stance on information. I mostly trust what people tell me about themselves(their internal state). I sometimes trust when people tell me facts, if I know them, or have reason to trust. And I consider people's conclusions to be 99% bullshit.

Btw. it is rare that people think it to be in their best interest to share their true internal state, or even to find out for themselves what that state truly is. Most of us play some internal public relations games, and the rest of us tend to be confused.
