The most rational thing you can do is admit you're probably wrong about most things.
The second most rational thing is to keep acting anyway.
This isn't a contradiction. It's the secret to better decision-making.

I Was Wrong About Being Wrong (And You Probably Are Too)
What if the most rational thing you can do is admit you're probably wrong about most things? And what if the second most rational thing is to keep acting anyway? One of philosophy's most fascinating contradictions: how uncertainty isn't the enemy of good decision-making but the foundation of it. From David Hume's skepticism to modern Bayesian reasoning, we'll discover why the greatest thinkers understood that fallibility is a feature, not a flaw. What you'll learn: - Why David Hume said reason was "built on sand" (and why that's actually good news) - How scientific breakthroughs happen despite, not because of, certainty - Why generals, doctors, and leaders must act on incomplete information - The psychology behind why we'd rather be consistently wrong than admit we're uncertain - How social media has turned intellectual humility into a liability - Why treating opinions like bets can make you a better thinker Key...
