When you are thinking about any part of your worldviews are you repeating opinions from others or do you build them off off evidence you have reasonable confidence in.
Were you do you get the information that feeds into those decisions, do your sources all agree or do they conflict.

Thinking for oneself seems like it could be valuable in some situations and a hassle in others. It probably depends on the scenario.
I know myself to be a fool, so I seek to learn.
