If anyone has experience trying to develop [the skill of noticing what it feels like to rationalize], please leave a comment.
I’ve developed this skill some. To me, it feels like part of my brain is “slipping sideways”, tugging me harder than appropriate towards a particular line of thinking or conclusion. I think I’m reasonably good at noticing rationalization, but part of my brain still tries to rationalize even after I notice it. I want to get better at responding appropriately.
