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

Politically, I'm pretty firm in my anti-capitalist stance and I think I've learned enough to be justifiably confident about that. But I'm relatively a lot less educated about the specifics of future socialist alternatives. There's a bunch of reading out there, but it's hard to keep my attention focused long enough to do that kind of reading without more structure behind it like I had when I was in school.

It's great to want to learn theory! If you want, I actually made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list, it should help with structure. It's meant to build up as time goes on, so you aren't thrown in the deep end at the start.
