Once a Christian friend asked me why I cared so much about what he believed. Without thinking, I came up with, “What you think determines what you choose. If your idea of the world is inaccurate, your choices will fail.”
This was years before I found LW and learned about the connection between epistemic and instrumental rationality.
P.S. My friend deconverted himself some years afterwards.
