have been wondering recently what my blind spots are, what are beliefs I have that are unexamined or based on too little evidence for how much I believe them …

maybe there are common patterns, that people commonly believe false things and I might be challenged in my own beliefs this way

    the dynamics of aviation safety, especially for this year falldown where we witness several airplane crashes that resulting more fatalities.

    let say before 2024, the track record was good enough. like I didn’t read or notified much about air crashes at that time. there are several air crashes, but only few I can consider fatal or serious incident.

    but now, this year alone: we have American Eagle, Air India, the Bangladeshi military jet, and today the small Russian flight. not to mention several serious incidents and also small fatal plane crashes. not to counting several major air accidents/incidents in 2024 too.

    I believe there’s something going wrong here in aviation industry, resulting the overall safety deficiency. but again, my beliefs here is still kinda unproven. I read online discussions about this, but what I read, peoples on that industry can only says “we try our best”.

      Aviation functions entirely on our belief in aviation. We believe planes can fly and land safely so they do.

      As more planes crash, the belief in its ability wanes, the worse it gets, repeat.

      Please don’t lose faith.

      I heard this is an expert interview so I know it’s true.

        You seem to be slightly confused, that’s how Orkish aviation works. Western FreedomPlanes™ generate lift by harnessing the power of the line that must always go up. For example, the U.S. Dollar’s line has started to go down, which has caused many U.S. airplanes to crash.
