have been wondering recently what my blind spots are, what are beliefs I have that are unexamined or based on too little evidence for how much I believe them ...

maybe there are common patterns, that people commonly believe false things and I might be challenged in my own beliefs this way

Aviation functions entirely on our belief in aviation. We believe planes can fly and land safely so they do.

As more planes crash, the belief in its ability wanes, the worse it gets, repeat.

Please don't lose faith.

I heard this is an expert interview so I know it's true.

You seem to be slightly confused, that's how Orkish aviation works. Western FreedomPlanes™ generate lift by harnessing the power of the line that must always go up. For example, the U.S. Dollar's line has started to go down, which has caused many U.S. airplanes to crash.
