I think you might be caught up in a bit of the rationalist delusion.
People -only!- draw conclusions based on personal experience. At best you have personal experience with truly objective evidence gathered in a statistically valid manner.
But that only happens in a few vanishingly rare circumstances here on earth. And wherever it happens, people are driven to subvert the evidence gathering process.
Often “working against your instincts” to be more rational only means more time spent choosing which unreliable evidence to concoct a belief from.
