Sometimes I hold some opinions out of comfort/self-soothing. One example is that I'd rather just hold the opinion that China is socialist than seriously consider the legitimate left-wing critiques of its rightist and capitalist excesses. I think these hold water but if I had to reckon with a reality that almost none of the world is socialist instead of 1/6th, I would be utterly paralyzed into inaction via despair.
