Whenever you write “it’s clear that” or “it’s obvious that” anyone with a lick of sense knows that what follows is not clear, or obvious, and is a source of contention amongst people of good will.

Unlike "it seems that," which suggest tentative or personal impressions, "it’s clear that" indicates strong evidence and a definitive conclusion.
Synonyms such as it is evident that, it is obvious that, or it is apparent that, can be used interchangeably.
Yea, all sorts of different ways to beg the question.
The phrase I take note of now is, "I think that...".
I really started noticing it after doing so much writing myself. Almost all of what I write is splicing together quotes and links. It takes a lot of effort and organization, but it was very important to me for it to come across as, "Well, you're seeing exactly what I'm looking at and you can make it what you will."
The phrase "I think" is prevalent in conspiracy-adjacent podcasts. That's because they have very little evidence to actually exhibit. You can mentally flag "I think" as an effort to manipulate your thoughts. Frankly, it's becoming more common to simply drop "I think" and state claims as if they were universally accepted fact.
Of course, the underlying problem is that no one demands evidence any more. I actually got criticized once on Reddit for providing links instead of just "saying what I thought". That's where we're at.
I think a lot tho.. And then say what I think a lot too.
(I get where you're coming from, I'm just overthinking it)
Light was before en-lighten-ment (mind within light) comes into being. The process of coming into being by division of all light into each mind establishes the division of clear/obscure (balance), which permits ones free will of choice in-between to discern self by clearing (discern) or obscuring (ignore) ones mind.
Suggesting to another that it IS clear or obvious tempts one to consent to obfuscation and obliviousness. Why? Because consenting to any suggestion represents a synthesis, while all (perceivable) enlightening the mind of each one (perception) implies analysis.
If one applies a synthesis to an analysis; then one obfuscates ones analytical mind into oblivion with all the information others are suggesting one to hold onto; believe in; define reality as etc.
...because following implies in the shadow of a leader.
There can be only one source for each one within.
Being within good/god implies being given free will of choice. Everything implies God...each things response to God (good) or one another (bad) is based one free will of choice.
