On the other hand, it might be different from person-to-person.
The only ones which haven't changed by themselves are complicated or part fo another belief structure like the following:
- I've discovered that I equate solving interesting intellectual puzzles with solving actual problems.
- I also mix up effort with value.

RT, you kinda agreed with me there. I said beliefs don't change simply by observing then and then you said you change yours by chosing a new belief. That's active not passive. You CHOOSE to change them, that is a belief installation. You don't simply observe them and they vanish into a puff of air and a new one appears, right?
