What is a belief?
A belief is something that is accepted, considered to be true, or held as an opinion.
How are beliefs produced/created/formed?
We form our beliefs first and then look for evidence in support of them afterwords. (1)
Most of our beliefs are simply a product of socialization, trust, geography, and emotion. (2)
Once a belief is formed, we don’t tend to change it. (2)
