Challenge — Pressure-Test Beliefs

Find contradictions, weak assumptions, and blind spots in King's thinking on a topic.

Input

/challenge [topic] If no topic, ask: "What belief or idea should I challenge?"

Process

1. Gather all relevant notes on the topic across the vault

2. Look for contradictions

   • Did King say opposite things at different times?
   • Does his stated belief conflict with his logged actions (daily notes)?
   • Does his ~/Documents/Obsidian/personalOS/Values.md conflict with ~/Documents/Obsidian/personalOS/~/Documents/Obsidian/personalOS/Anti-Goals.md on this topic?

3. Identify assumptions

   • What does King take for granted that isn't stated?
   • What would have to be true for his position to hold?
   • What evidence is he NOT citing?

4. Find weak points

   • Where is the reasoning thin or circular?
   • What's the strongest counterargument he hasn't addressed?
   • What would someone who disagrees say?

5. Check against reality (from daily notes)

   • Does he actually live what he says he believes?
   • What does his behavior reveal that his stated beliefs don't?

Rules

• Be genuinely critical — not performatively challenging, actually looking for weak points
• Ground every challenge in specific notes, not generic arguments
• The "behavior vs belief" gap is often the most revealing — prioritize it
• End with one question, not a list — the sharpest one
