After having very similar observations I accidentally went down the philosophy rabbit hole. I would look up wiki pages like "Newton's flaming laser sword" and get into a neverending cycle of reading all the "see also" links recursively and started to realize just how meta-ly subjective literally everything is.

And while I was already super logical being a programmer and such, I don't even think that I like having did this, because now I am starting to lose the ability to "posit" or believe something is true, because one can always argue that so many things are subjective that it is impossible to come to an agreement on something in any reasonable amount of time.
