I'm not sure succeeding at number 4 helps you with with the unattractiveness and discomfort of number 3.
Say you do find some alternative steel-manned position on truth that is comfortable and intellectually satisfying. What are the odds that this position will be the same position as that held by "most humans", or that understanding it will help you get along with them ?
