Really enjoyed this article. When I write or read about topics like this, I am often reminded of Richard Feynman's quote:
“You must not fool yourself--and you are the easiest person to fool.”
I like to start at the whole "know thyself" principle and build outward from there. Does not always work and is filled with blindspots, but I think if someone is really dedicated to knowing themselves, they can work to minimize those blindspots through reflection, being held accountable by others, and the constant pursuit of knowledge.
I think where most fall short is not continuing to learn and instead do their research via confirming what they already know. The confirmation bias is a huge issue today, especially when Google/GPT can just give you exactly what you ask it.
