If ever you've arrived at an assumption...

An gut feeling... speculation...

Do you seek facts to support it?

Or simply choose to believe your own brand of truth simply because you...thought it, therefore it must be true?

If you're asking about the sorts of beliefs that add up to whole paradigms, then I consider stable, long-term beliefs to be nothing more than recreational mental illness regardless of how much verisimilitude they may appear to have.

If you're asking about beliefs insofar as these can be used as tools to assist with case-by-case decisions, then I'll seek facts (though not necessarily to "support" whatever I might be intuitively inclined toward), but it depends on how much time there is before needing to act on whatever I've got.
