Checking that beliefs pay rent kinda stuff. For an example: I believe that a new acquaintance is treating me coldly. I predict I’ll see some of the things I’m missing when she interacts with other people (smiles, extended responses, etc), but when I don’t observe this, I realize that my original belief was wrong and she probably just has an unusual baseline response.
Basically I’m trying to get into the habit of turning descriptions of the present world into predictions about the future world. Then I don’t need someone else to catch me out; reality will.
