Instead of only asking other people questions to test my assumptions, I try to always examine my deeper motives, inquire of my implicit biases, how they unconsciously distort and manipulate my perception of reality.

I never trust what I think, what I feel, what see, what I sense in any capacity. It is my valuation of emotions as complex meta-senses that differentiates in what is for me a discipline of study and practice.
