- mousa 15y agoNone of this nor the OP applies to me. Not just the smart part, but when I see the work awkward, I think of a different set of problems. I get along with people just fine and I'm not confrontational, but I can never really relax when I'm around people without an agenda because I don't know what I'm supposed to be talking about. That's what I'd hoped to read about.
- lhnz 15y agoI actually found some of that quite annoying. It described the behaviour of many intellectuals, and kind of inherently made it all out to be mistakes, like this: "They may have a mentality where it just feels 'wrong' to let a mistake slide. They may feel they just have to say something, and get a sense that they're restoring balance to the universe by sharing the Truth with others." But who's to say it's not wrong to let a mistake slide? If everybody acted exactly as the author recommended nothing would ever get done...
- ChrisMac 15y agoI think what the article is saying is not that never correcting a mistake is bad, but that pointlessly correcting people about minor things in the wrong context can be annoying.
