Thing I have noticed with rationalists (e. g. Ein Tyre and to a lesser extent myself): saying something and then pausing, saying "do I believe that?" and reflecting for a couple of seconds.
Its kind of an admission of defeat (your brain produces thought & speech faster than it can check) but there is a higher-order process running that performs a-posteriori sanity checks.

I like it.
