Maybe you could simply pin down your beliefs instead of “critically examining” them?
For me, “pinning down” means fine tuning definitions. This and “critically examining” use the same toolset. I essentially see them as one and the same. If I am mucking around and bothering with those pesky definitions I am going to see the inconsistencies.
I can describe how I act and that is how I generally translate my old belief system. Rationality encourages beliefs as predictors and I am taking new forming beliefs and entering them that way. The data hasn’t come back from those beliefs yet but I am eagerly awaiting.
