"Learning must be uncomfortable."
Critical thinking is hard.
- dude250711 1y agoAlso, not aligned with modern society, since you kind of need free speech for that.

- mattgreenrocks 1y agoIt’s not about being smart as much as staying engaged with the problem even when it mentally defeats you several times.
- password54321 1y agoThat's what I mean. People are uncomfortable being wrong. We are taught from school that being wrong makes you less adequate.
- mattgreenrocks 1y agoI see. You are correct. Wrong is merely feedback on something outside of us, not a value judgment of us as people. But education and other systems need us to believe the latter at some low level so they can retain authority.
