Is conservatism something you appreciate aesthetically?
Yes
? A tribe you like belonging to more than the "liberal" tribe?
False choice. In Australia, the liberal and cosnervative tribes are one in the same for historic reasons. I'm from Australia.
Something closer or farther away from what you perceive to be reality than the alternatives?
It's a reality of possible utilities from the value system rather than reality reality of predictive validity
Or, rather, my advice would be to pose a better question, not necessarily here, but to yourself.
I'll meditate on that
Figure out where the conflicts are and evaluate each one individually, instead of generalizing to all of them.
Ok
