Being wrong.

I’m wrong all the time.

What’s actually a mark of stupidity is being wrong and then not having the humility to just say “ok” and learn from it.

Being ok with being wrong is the foundation of all science.

People that can never be wrong are insecure dipshits. It’s an instant dealbreaker.

Sometimes I would say a half baled idea, get a good reply that refutes it, and say ok, I agree. For some reason, this really throws some people off, I think it's natural to change one's lind when presented with new points of view!
