Admissions

Posted by John on May 27, 2008

My current hypothesis for improving humanity: We need to form a collaborative effort in learning how to admit we’re wrong about things.  This goes along with evidence-based learning: if the evidence demonstrates that you are wrong, you must be willing to admit it.  Hope is only sustainable when there’s a dearth of evidence, when gut feelings are all we have to go on.  But when there’s enough evidence, hope and pride are folly.
