The resolution for this dilemma is multiple personas (modes/contexts of behavior/thought), and the essential advice is to have a “normal” persona in your arsenal. Doesn’t need to affect the other personas. The bubbles are where one can naturally engage the non-”normal” personas socially.
More general advice is to think about understanding the more alien worldviews of interest as working towards developing personas that could ITT them (which doesn’t need to get to the point of functional success or actual enactment). Like empathy, this is easier than explicitly (System 2) understanding those worldviews on technical level. Fine-tune intuitive language models that capture them first.
