It is very difficult to ask us to monitor our own thinking. It requires an advanced level of self-reflection. It requires us to have a research taste for what methods of inquiry are reliable, e.g., discussion and experiment are different from brainwashing or random guessing. If we believe these research methods are instrumental to truth, then we can distinguish what methods of inquiry are reliable.
让我们监控自己的思维是非常困难的。这需要高级别的自我反思。我们需要对哪些探究方法是可靠的进行研究测试,例如,讨论和实验与洗脑或随机猜测是不同的。如果我们相信这些研究方法是通向真理的工具,那么我们就能区分哪些探究方法是可靠的。
