This is great feedback, thanks! Let me try address some of it.
Seeking accuracy in every situation is extremely bad time management.
I agree; that’s not what I meant to suggest. Not sure if I’ll be able to convey this better. I’m trying to ask whether the person legitimately wants an accurate map (where it matters to them).
Depending on the sense of “regularly”,...
I agree. Every question with a “regularly” or “frequently” or similar may just not work, period. How do I ask a question that determines if someone actually asks about the causes of their beliefs, whether consciously or habitually? It certainly requires self-awareness and self-honesty on their part. It could be changed to, “In the last 24 hours have you …”
Irrelevant how? Maybe it’s pleasant reading.
Irrelevant to the current investigation. If you’re genuinely curious about what you’re investigating, you’ll drop irrelevant information in favor of what’s higher value. I’ll try rewording this.
Numerology, astrology, time cubism?..
I expect you don’t spend time on astrology because you’ve deemed it false, not because you ignored it for being “shallow” etc.? In other words, I’m trying to ask “do you avoid thinking about topics for the wrong reasons?” This might not be possible. Also, I should probably drop the word ‘boring’.
(Actually, the first thing I did after reading that was think, “time cubism, what?” googled it, and read about it for a few minutes.)
