There is interesting connection between those techniques and “Trapped priors” and the whole take on human cognition as bayesian reasoning and biases as a strong prior. Why would those techniques work? (Assuming they work).
I guess some like “Try to speak truth” can make you consider a wide range of connected notions e.g. you say something like “Climate change is fake” and you start to consider “why would make it true?” Or you just feel (because of your prioir) that this is true and ignore any further considerations (in that case the technique doesn’t work).

Thanks for sharing that related post, Mikolaj.
