Konrad Lorenz once said "It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast."

Doing this is probably a good start. It will force you to delve into issues deeper than you otherwise would. Take an opposing side, try and understand the argument and why someone would make that argument. Then you will be able to come up with a well-thought out counter-argument.
