Beliefs I've evicted and some new tenants

I've been examining my beliefs to identify those that have proven to be free-loaders; ideas that don't "pay rent" (beliefs that fail to lead to predictive realities).

Here's a list of beliefs I've evicted followed by new tenants I will further evaluate to see if they pay their future fair share.

1. Free markets make free people has been replaced with the more predictive belief that free markets must exploit portions of its population or the population of other countries to maximize economic profit
2. A middle class is a by-product of Capitalist competition has been replaced with the belief that a middle-class is a result of Socialist policies that allow workers to own their labor
3. Subjective conscience is evidence of non-material realities has been replaced with the belief that subjective conscience is best understood by seeing it as a combination of brain chemistry interacting with one's external environment
4. Spiritual terms as actual realities has been replaced with the belief that spiritual language is a metaphor leveraging present culture to describe #3
5. A requirement for career satisfaction is that one's primary source of income needs to correspond closely with one's passion has been replaced with the belief that a job can subsidize one's true vocation
