Decided to behave in a different way in some set of situations

I downloaded seven metabooks and I'm going to read all of them, regardless of their quality. I'm pretty sure I'm bad at reading, never having "practiced" it, and I'm certain that I do not read quickly enough or recall enough. So I hope these books will fix that problem. I may make a discussion post after this experience, explaining which ones I thought were helpful and which ones I thought were not.

Obtained new evidence that made you change your mind about some belief

Mitchell Porter has decreased my confidence in the computational theory of mind, but not so much that I think it's wrong. This actually happened a while back. I've also changed my mind about something else, which I won't publicly reveal.
