I want trip-wires and landmines in my brain so that whenever I semi-consciously judge something as plausible, reasonable, 'a soldier on my side', 'a soldier on the enemy's side', etc alarms and explosions go off and stop me from making such judgments. The closest I can find to such tools is soundbites like these that are trained up as automatic responses to such judgments.
