Well said! I can’t remember where I read it, but I remember reading a great line that went something like, “How can you feel dismayed at having been shown to be wrong about something? It makes you wiser than you were yesterday.”
I might have read it on lesswrong. If anyone knows the line in question, do tell me in a reply to this comment.
“How can you feel dismayed at having been shown to be wrong about something? It makes you wiser than you were yesterday.”
But yesterday you didn’t know you were wrong. There was a reason for you to be more dismayed than you are now, but since you didn’t know about it, you could scarcely have been blamed for not being dismayed.
