    Metacognition becomes routine for humans. We are able to better de-fuse from our thoughts, and recognize them not as reality but as thoughts about reality.

      This is the most interesting answer here so far. That’s something I’m currently working on, or at least trying to work on. Sometimes I’ll notice how my view on a thing changes completely without the thing itself changing or the circumstances changing. Just my mood and how I generally feel at the moment. That worries me, because it makes me trust my “gut feeling” about things less and less if it happens too often.
