If you’re built anything like me, the size of the effect does depend pretty strongly X; some may require a simple book, some may equire a full-fledged immersive indoctrination with a lot of social pressure. So I should move my belief towards any X that sounds like it could convince me with a simple book, which would cover a lot of (conflicting) theories on economics and history, but not a lot of religion or conspiracy theories or nationalist ideologies.
Another belief this would leave me away form is ideas that “people who believe in X are evil/crazy” for a lot of values of X.
