Beliefs are living things.
Their primary concern is enlarging the market share they hold of your attention.
Everyone has a belief system, B.S., the trick is to learn not to take anyone's B.S. too seriously, especially your own.
But once you have a belief system everything that comes in either gets ignored if it doesn't fit the belief system or get distorted enough so that it can fit into the belief system. You gotta be continually revising your map of the world.
