   It’s ok to be wrong about not wanting to be wrong.

   I think on of the things that hold us back from intellectual humility is our ego, knowing I’m not less than for knowing or better for knowing. Now I can be truly uncertain.

   We live in a society that punishes being wrong, especially publicly. From school to work to social media, we are trained to fear mistakes instead of learning from them. For years I was terrified of being wrong , I avoided speaking up, second-guessed everything, and lived in constant anxiety. Then I read Your Mind Was A Target by Dr Tessa Voss and it made me realize that this fear is not natural it’s conditioned. The book helped me understand how the system creates emotional pressure that keeps us quiet, small, and compliant. Since then, I’ve learned that growth only starts when you stop fearing imperfection.

   If we simplify the situation, in a polarized society like the one we find ourselves in now, you have a bout a 50/50 chance of being right about any given thing. You’re born to a family and taught what to believe. Both sides think they’re 100% right and the other side is 100% wrong. That seems a bit mental to me, but I digress. If you never consider the possibility you’re wrong, you’ll always be right about 50% on things, and 50% wrong. Improving that, if you care to, requires considering the possibility you may have been wrong about something. I don’t call that intellectual humility, I call it objectivity. And if you apply that over time in a systemized fashion, say with science, you will slowly become more right about things than wrong. That’s something to aspire to… The problem is many people define THEMSELVES by specific beliefs, and so make it near impossible to consider those beliefs objectively. There are reasons for this, good and bad. Both evolution and culture are emergent and behavioral diversity is often a strength. Youth put themselves in danger and take passionate hard stances on things because evolution has programed them to. It has the function of creating a kind of self-driven additional selective pressure. They place ‘themselves’ in situations where they have to survive. But it’s a numbers game. In prehistoric times when we had many children, this was actually beneficial to our species. Natural selection IS horrible. Today, when we may have only one child, this atavistic instinct can cause tragedy in a family.

     But it takes humility to remove your ego, so that you can be objective.

     @@BonnieShadow33 That depends on what you mean, how you define humility. If you are consciously ‘trying’ to be humble, that’s false humility in my book. You might have good intentions in doing it, but you don’t genuinely believe it, you’re not genuinely humble. Whereas with pure objectivity, and a little epistemology, I know nothing I believe can be known with 100% certainty, save for the fact that I exist in ‘some’ capacity. I know nothing I do in life can make me ‘better’ than another person. I am the product of circumstance. If someone had the same genetics as me, the same experiences, they would be me. And these are things I did not give myself, or earn. Even if I derived some amazing piece of wisdom, this is just something I found along my path. And if had and not walked along that specific path, I would not have found it. I could be smarter, stronger, wealthier, more empathetic, more artistic than any other person in the world, and I still would not be better than anyone. How is this objective knowledge not humility? ‘Feeling’ that you’re some how lesser than others seems dangerous. But in any useful philosophy there is balance, and different people achieve that balance in different ways. If your humility is different than mine, or you use a different word, and it works for you, that’s the only thing that matters. But for some, like me, too ‘much’ ego isn’t the problem.

    Why would it be assumed that every 4 year old would react like a know-it-all? From personal experience that is certainly not true. Plenty of young children will openly say “I don’t know” when questioned about something.

    In many scenarios, I have no problem being intellectually humble. Still, and I don’t know exactly what the difference is, there are times when I honestly believe that I know all there is to know about a certain something, or that I’m right about how to interpret a situation, and it’s rather humiliating to find out that I’m wrong.
