    Hi Paul,

    You wrote to Matt:

    "I would suggest that there is nothing "useful" about identifying that the
    world causes me to have beliefs, the beliefs are useful or not on their
    own."

    Actually I think this is very useful to realize, not only about your own
    beliefs but about other people's beliefs also. It connects us much more
    firmly to each other and to the world to recognize how the world causes our
    beiefs. Otherwise you could just think other people were stupid, instead of
    realizing that they have reasons for having their beliefs, and not feel any
    empathy or forgiveness for people, or humility. It's the question of Grace
    vs Free Will again, I guess, and I think it has a profound impact on
    worldview and happiness.
