The hypothetical cleverest, most correct person possible would be right 100% of the time and therefore would never change their opinion because changing it would go from right to wrong.
A subtly different view: The hypothetical cleverest, most correct person possible would be right close to 100% of the time because they would change any wrong opinion almost immediately.
And with this view, the closer you are to that person, the better you really are.
- corin_ 14y agoThat's a much more realistic cleverest person, but in terms of hypotheticals it is clearly better to be right 100% of the time than to almost immediately change your opinion the 1% of the time you start off wrong.
- Shorel 14y agoI believe that's an error in perception that has lead us to religion and other "I'm always right" worldviews. Actually, no, it is not better.
