being wrong is central to my worldview #

When you live your life based on evidence, your natural inclination is to dismantle and test your assumptions. People who live their lives based on evidence, rather than faith, welcome being wrong.

When you’re presented with new information that challenges your understanding of the world, but choose not to consider it and adjust your understanding, then you’re living in cognitive dissonance. You’re making a choice to remain comfortable rather than embracing truth.
