“Believe in yourself.” This phrase is often offered as motivation when someone questions their worth.

Our own beliefs, according to psychologist George Kelly, are like pairs of reality goggles—our perceptual blueprints to make sense of the world and navigate our surroundings.

But lately, I’ve started questioning my own beliefs. I’m rethinking why.

When our opinions are threatened, our vision blurs. Kelly noticed that we become hostile when defending opinions we know, deep down, are false. Instead of trying a new pair of goggles, we become mental gymnasts or contortionists—twisting and turning until we find an angle that keeps our views intact.

As I’ve come across some social media “influencers,” I’ve noticed a common “algorithm of hate” as the currency for engagement. Their words and narratives fuel group polarization, reinforced by the conformity of followers.

It’s sad that on socmed, investing in hate content has more ROI than investing in knowledge, wisdom, and truth.

As Adam Grant pointed out, followers gain status by aligning with the most prototypical member of the group, who often holds the most intense view. Instead of questioning our own beliefs, we suppress our dissenting views and conform to the HIPPO—the Highest Paid Person’s Opinion.

Now this becomes the formula for “How to Be an Influencer”: (1) Be one-sided. (2) Your truth must be the truth for all your followers. (3) Trigger emotions of hate—the more hate, the more shares, the more engagement.

We’re not at war on a battlefield; we’re at war over opinions and beliefs.

One way to stop the hate is by telling the truth. And I think maybe there’s truth in what others say: the truth hurts.

For people who are kind (I won’t use “intelligent” because, as Tolstoy said, those who are kind are intelligent), civil disagreement is a skill that can be learned.

As Hemingway said, the most essential gift we can give ourselves is a built-in, shock-proof bu****it detector.

Sometimes, let’s try another pair of reality- googles.

Sunday’s morning reflection.
