how does an idea become a belief ? can you brute force it? does it need a story, a forcing event? just repetition?

emotional attachment + repetition once an idea occurs, the brain starts looking for evidence to support it (whether it’s true or not). when there is an emotion tied to it, new neural pathways are carved and beliefs are formed. also, watch Inside Out 2 for a fun illustration of the process haha
