(I think it would actually be “spin up a more powerful search for reasons your belief might be true”, not a search for its implications if true.)
The step of running with the alien assumptions and framings is also very important, it’s unnecessary and impractical to only focus on the things you believe or understand or endorse. There is much more to learn than what’s ready to be made into a part of yourself, and the only way to defeat path-dependence at human level is by being anti-inductive with respect to your own perspective, to seek out the points of view you don’t understand or endorse or believe (on some topic of interest), and at least come to understand how they work internally for their proponents, even when you don’t have footholds of belief or endorsement into them that promise they might be a good fit down the line. (This does require solid sandboxing practices, or else your mind might get so open the brains fall out.) Sometimes such footholds are unexpected, and only appear after you do the work, despite not having any footholds at the outset, and so you make your own epistemic luck.
