“Being wrong feels exactly like being right. So we are all wrong about hundreds of things right now and we have no clue, and the only way you can find that out is by talking to people who think differently.” — Jonathan Haidt

@JonHaidt Not just talking to people who think differently, but inviting criticism and taking it seriously. The taking it seriously bit is particularly hard in cases where you feel pretty strongly you’re right. But feeling strongly is no guarantee you are.

@JonHaidt And it aggregates. An entire life of being mostly wrong about most things feels exactly like being right about most things. Therefore, feeling wise or superior to others is unreliable. That feeling that you are wise tells you nothing about your batting average.

@JonHaidt It's pretty much what J.S. Mill said and is in my opinion the single best argument is defence of freedom of speech

@JonHaidt We could use a few more people who think like Jon in the world.

@JonHaidt I learned this from @ScottAdamsSays and it really shifted my perspective.

@JonHaidt So... talk to smarter people. As this is difficult, it's better to read good books. So - great advice!

@JonHaidt I have doubts Wish I could express them with eloquence and tact, like a practiced psychopath might do

@JonHaidt Funny from someone who started condemning the vast majority of people who don’t accept his weak research results as “skeptics” who do “harm”

@JonHaidt No one can be rational 100% of the time. We're all apes, after all.

Matt Damon participated in Howard Zinn's great "The People Speak" series, and read out a great speech by Zinn about the importance of civil disobedience, which is as apt today as when he first wrote it in 1970: "I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail, and the wrong people are out of jail. That the wrong people are in power, and the wrong people are out of power. I start from the supposition that all we have to do is think about the state of the world today, and realize that things are all upside down. If you don't think, if you listen to TV, read scholarly things, you actually begin to think that things are not so bad. Or that just little things are wrong. But you have to get a little detached, and then come back and look at the world, and you are horrified. So we have to start from that supposition—that things are really topsy-turvy. And our topic is topsy-turvy: civil disobedience. As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience. That is not our problem…. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem."
