All of us have that very human tendency, which is the desire not to be wrong. The wonderful things about the Anons is that it cool to ask for “sauce” from someone. Or we say we don’t have the full picture up front or offer a statement as a theory.
People need to shift to understanding things as “I don’t believe that I’m wrong, as this is well tested”, or “I don’t understand how this is wrong”, or “I can’t conceptualize this alternative theory”. Take the ego out and realize we are all highly regarded, and that in terms of possibilities, it’s infinitely more likely that we are wrong than right.
Learning that a held idea is wrong is an opportunity, not a punishment or affront. Do we get that idea from school? Poor discipline?
