I’m coming back to this years later, but, wait, what? How does one learn, then? How does one separate true stuff from false stuff without engaging with it, without wrestling with it, without trying to disprove it, without applying it?

You move in small reliable steps, making yourself stronger, so that eventually you can take bigger steps that you couldn’t judge reliable before.
Ok. That’s compatible with what I meant, even if it’s not what I said. :)
