jackI realise my previous post focussed on aliefs which are false and/or harmful, but I'd forgotten to seek out the other side of the picture. Examples of positive aliefs might be (?):
* Someone who thinks being non-straight is a sin, but when actually meeting people who are non-straight, have the reaction that they're people just like everyone else, even if they can't justify that intellectually.
* Someone who aliefs "it will probably turn out ok" -- it's usually easier to be a slightly overconfident, rather than have a realistic assessment of when it's worth gambling on a probable-failure.
