That’s my failure mode, at least with political narratives (probably other areas too). To the extent that I can influence politics, I’m not going to take that opportunity, because I (generally) disbelieve what everyone else says, but I don’t put in the time to have opinions of my own.
I think I mostly like this better than the alternatives. But I do have to put a bit of effort into remembering that not having opinions isn’t the ideal state.
