I Was Wrong, and So Can You: The Power of Intellectual Humility
- DarnVisages 3y agoIn a world where everyone is eager to assert their correctness, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate a unifying truth: we're all wrong - all the damn time.
- proc0 3y ago100% agree with everything. Now what can we do so political leaders and others who hold power also think this way? The biggest problem is people overlooking the mistakes of leaders and reelecting the same people.
- DarnVisages 3y agoI agree. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for what we can do. This is a systemic problem that requires a systemic solution. Additionally, I suspect that many political leaders are in their positions because they strongly believe in their own beliefs and want to act on them. This makes it all the more difficult to encourage intellectual humility.
