Anything you Want

If someone proves that something you believe is wrong is not only possible but also accepted by those around you, to the point that it makes you question yourself and lose confidence in your own judgment, does that invalidate your judgment?

Are you fine with doing the gray things if someone else is doing it too?

Anything will be validated to you if you ask in the right place. If you want killing animals to be a good thing, you ask a butcher how he is feeding his family. Or ask yourself if you aren't a vegetarian. If you want killing animals to be a bad thing, ask someone who has turned vegan. Or just anyone without the context. But, what do you think? What conclusion do you reach from your own biases unbiased (externally) with your own experiences.

Does it automatically become a right thing to do if someone else does it?

Other people can be wrong too. If your gut tells you it's bad, it has a reason to feel that way. But, that doesn't mean that you are correct.

Asking the questions that validates you no matter what, is the best way to be validated. You can just search "Why is it good to kill animals?" and you will get a million reasons why it is fine. And you will get a million reason for why it isn't fine if you ask why it is bad.

I am writing this because I wanted to charge my phone with my laptop's charger which felt like it isn't good, but I searched "Why is it fine to charge a phone with a laptop's charger?" to calm myself down to do the thing anyway.

This made me think how arrogant I can be in things I believe to be "the right thing" or "the right way". I mean, using Facebook is not good (because privacy) using windows is not good (because privacy) and I do stand by it because I have collected the experiences to say that it is bad. But saying the same because some guy said it to me, or I read something about it, is like saying Pineapple on pizza is good (or bad) without even tasting it.

I am sure there is a name for this phenomenon. I'll ask ChatGPT about it. But I just can't believe the internet, and I can't believe the people around me. But is it because I don't want to be wrong? I spend my time trying not to be wrong, gathering the most optimal and the best of the best things to add to my personality. Is not wanting to be wrong taking away my precious time then being wrong a few times. Is it really worth it?

Are you doing the same? Because anything you want to be true is true if you ask it in the right place.

If optimizing something takes too long, is it worth optimizing? Because what's the point? \o/

BTW, I asked ChatGPT, it said: confirmation bias, motivated reasoning and echo chamber effect.
