RE: Believing too much: In defence of credulity
Thanks. Yes, I wonder if it does have a lot to do with academia... The elitism that goes along with going to a good school might give people the pretence of knowledge. But I definitely remember that I knew people like that even in high school... I was probably one of them.
I have zero doubt I have been such a person before. I am not sure what snapped me out of it, but once I began to freely admit that I am likely wrong that is when I feel that the pace of learning increased dramatically. It is a lot easier to pickup knowledge if we don't assume we know it all before we listen.
