The weigh is measurement, it requires a scale. You place your judgement onto one side and your merits on the other side to see if they balance. There is know weigh to do this properly. Take what you know for sure, and then be as critical as you can to see if it still rings true.
Most of the media is not true. The response to false has to be false, since it is conditioned upon untruth. What you uncover from your own perspective is your personal chi. As long as you do not lie to yourself, you can trust your own process to make decisions.
If you believe what you are told, you are lying to yourself. Check your premises, they have to align with your thoughts and actions. Think through your actions before acting them out, or play the role in stageplay and analyze the results for the answers.
We have the answers, we just don't grok the questions. Act accordingly.
