It is surely the case for me, I was raised a hindu nationalist,I ended up also trusting various sides of the political spectrum from far right to far left, porn addiction , later ended up falling into trusting science,technology without thinking for myself. Then i fell into epistemic helplessness, did some 16 hr/day work hrs as a denial of the situation led to me getting sleep paralysis, later my father also died due to his faulty beliefs in naturopathy and alternative medicine honestly due to his contrarian bias he didn’t go to a modern medicine doctor, I was 16 back then (last year) . Which eventually ended up leading me here, initially being every skeptical of anything but my default common sense intuition I realised the cognitive biases I fell for etc etc. so on
