six questions. I'll keep you intellectually honest by taking common of tea came home and our come. It's easy to feel confident in what we think we know it's easy to latch onto the sensation that we ve already arrived in our pursuit of truth, it's easy to buy into the illusion there were one of the rare few chosen ones who understand what's really going on, while everyone else is guilty of blatant idiocy? It's easy! to assume that we have far more to teach? Then we have to learn it you draw hard lines of distinction between teacher and student, while forgetting that every good teacher turn used to play the role of student in every good student needs to play the role of teacher There is no easy formula for maintaining open, mindedness and intellectual honesty, but here is a list of questions. I've come up with an exercise in keeping myself honest question number one keen him one person dead or alive, who you regard as a bridge. In thinker responsible for having country

we had an important and insightful work to the pool of human knowledge. How this question can keep you honest: the inability to identify other brilliant people might be an indicator that you're out touch with reality or just flat out arrogant on a planet that includes several Billy. Can people that were only counting the living ones. It should be relatively easy identify one person who meets criteria, even if you believe ninety percent of all people are total idiots difficulty with it during this question might mean you have a hard time recognising or respecting anyone else's intelligence. Besides your own, or you are very active in the process of seeking exposure to new people, new perspectives, question number two key name, one person dead or alive that you disagree with whose philosophy is right and respect well in at least one area, how this question can keep you honest? It can be awfully hard for many of us to admit when another person

is right about something if they don't share, are cherished beliefs about religion or politics or money, or some learn born issue learning how to learn from people who don't agree with us about everything is essential for survival and personal growth. The inability to give credit to people merely because of objectionable content and other aspects of their world view can easily lead to a form of groups. Enclosed mindedness that blinds from the common ground we share with others. It can also lead to an unnecessarily adversarial attitude towards people who don't share our views. That makes us less effective as communicators and less coherent as thinkers question number three: can you name a few important questions that you don't believe you have discovered the answers to yet how this question can he be honest if you like, early dont have any important questions that you lack the answer to then that means you have nothing to learn believing

They have nothing important to learn is a huge incentive killer when it comes to connecting with other people and devoting yourself to personal growth. More importantly, if you don't think you like answers to any important questions may be an indicator that you have a very narrow concept of important are very limited. Understanding of the kinds of questions being asked in our time or very limited sense. Possibility regarding the kinds of things I can be known about yourself and your world question number four key name, one to two issues: topics or areas of study that you feel you still need to learn about. Has. Question can he be honest? Most of us are aware of the fact that we don't know. Everything is easy, however, casually dismissed the stuff we don't know as being minor or unimportant. I dont know every thing, but I know all about the stuff that matters is the attitude of referring to hear this question challenges you to think about what you dont know in terms of your own goals

the inability to answer this question. My reveal that you're not being very specific with your goals or that you how willing to challenge yourself or that you have a heart I'm admitting when you're uninformed about important things, question number five? If you had a guess, could you know in one or two issues, topics or areas of study, where your most likely to hold a false assumption or uninformed believe how this question can he be honest discussion, can challenge you to be aware of your cognitive biases. Your cycle logical motives in your personal agendas? The goal of this question is to help you practice the art of being conscious of how your individual thinking, style tendencies and self interests can affect pursuit of truth and, being aware of these things, you can improve your ability to be less and negatively affected by them. Question number six: can you name at least one specific instance in which you open the app it to another person that you were wrong about something how this question,

can he be honest. None of us have been right about every single thing. Since birth while these were mid that were all wrong in general, is healthy to practice, were memory particular mom, in when we owned our errors. Diskin Helpin these two ways: one. It could help d dramatize the experience of being wrong by recounting our past errors In light of our current state of being more informed, we reinforced a view that is not a big deal to admit when you're wrong, although many will enjoy mocking those who confess their errors. We should actually celebrate honesty by being very familiar with our own experiences of exhibiting such behaviour. We take a positive step in the direction of seeing the admission of error as a positive and praiseworthy thing. And to the more difficulty we have with remembering specific times when we opened our errors, the more likely. It is that we either have trouble and many were wrong. Although we have trouble accepting the fact that we had to do so,

being aware of that aspect of ourselves is the first step to making improvements you just listen to the post, titled six questions I'll, keep you intellectually honest.
