We are all prone to bias, we join our ego's to our ideas and defend them on a personal level - because we do this it seems that we can very easily make unjustified assumptions for purely emotional reasons.
So the question is this, how do you avoid bad thinking, what sort of things do you do to make sure that your ideas are as solid as possible.
This extends quite broadly, example of an answer below.
My ego is big enough when I know I am right (hint: that's not the same as being right) to push a point very far, the best check against being stupid is other people - encountering new arguments and constructing them yourself. Knowledge is also very useful and being able to reflect on your own ideas and the justifications of them. FYM is invaluable to that end.
