The disturbing arguments might be accidents, but maybe you could create reassuring arguments on purpose? Why let bias or coincidence alone determine the outcome of your reasoning processes, when you can aim towards strategic targets instead?

I would suggest Taoism, Buddhism, and Stoicism as potentially useful avenues of thought for you to pursue.
