“I don’t know” is not an admission of ignorance. It’s an expression of intellectual humility. “I was wrong” is not a confession of failure. It’s a display of intellectual integrity. “I don’t understand” is not a sign of stupidity. It’s a catalyst for intellectual curiosity.

What leads us to ignore experts isn't their knowledge. It's their arrogance. Evidence: Scientists are more credible when they admit what they don't know, acknowledge what they got wrong, and update their views. Trust is earned by expressing humility, not by asserting authority.

Progress > Perfection Learning > Knowing #IntelligentFailure > Not trying in the first place

Machines have surpassed humans in empathy. New evidence: AI beat humans in detecting emotions and giving support. As long as people didn't know AI created the messages, they felt more heard. It's not that AI is so good. It's that we often fail to use our emotional intelligence.
