Meta-checks(as an alternative method the sage doesn't need to use): Stepping back to examine and question your own thoughts—basically thinking about your thinking to verify whether something is true.
Stoic sage(as used in ethics): In Stoicism (an ancient Greek and Roman philosophy), a sage is a person who has achieved perfect wisdom and virtue by living in harmony with reason and nature, and therefore experiences complete peace of mind regardless of external circumstances.
The Stoics(as an example of a Western philosophical school that blurred the line between what is rational and what we should do): Philosophers from ancient Greece and Rome who believed that living well means accepting what happens to you without resistance and aligning your desires with reason and nature.
assent(Epictetan epistemology and action theory): The cognitive act of accepting a proposition as true, regulated by perceived logical consistency or contradiction with one's existing beliefs.
