With limited intelligence and limited time, I will never be correct about everything. That sucks, but such is life. I can still keep trying to do better, despite knowing that the results will never be perfect.
I try to listen to people who are not my friends (or to make/keep friends outside my usual bubbles), even if they are obviously wrong about some things… because they still might be right about some other things. I try to listen to it all, then filter it out somehow. But time is limited, so I do not do this too often.
A typical outcome is that my opinions are similar to the opinions of my smart friends, but with way less certainty; plus an occassional fringe belief. And yes, even this is not perfect.
