In writing my hypothetical apostacy I used to just sort of argue against myself. However, I recently found that it's a lot more effective when I really pretend to be a different person. Like an older and wiser version of myself that is disgusted with my current self's shortcomings. Or a future girlfriend of mine who is a "better" version of me and has different pet peeves.
