Identities and core beliefs

We build our lives around certain core beliefs. And discussing them will most likely yield anger and indignation (i.e discussing religion or politics).

We usually fail to adjust to the evidence put before us regarding these beliefs. Because to have them torn down would be to admit that a large part of our reality is false.

The purpose of conversations

Conversations are supposed to generate new ideas, not to turn into heated arguments.

“When experts are wrong, it’s often because they’re experts on an earlier version of the world.”

Paul Graham

Actively seek out change

Seek out disconfirming evidence. Challenge the status quo. Have strong opinions, but hold them loosely. Avoid becoming a prisoner of your own expertise.

Do the work required

Rather than be opinionated, we should strive to be informed.
