Willful stupidity is often easier and more profitable in the short run, but you just might be picking up pennies in front of a steamroller.
I think it’s best to go out of your way to believe the truth, even though you won’t always succeed. I’m very suspicious when tempted to do otherwise, it’s usually for most unwise or unhealthy reasons. There are exceptions, but they’re much rarer than we’d like to think.

I am interested to know what kind of temptations, reasons and exceptions you have in mind.
