If you care primarily about *being right*, then you'll be wrong a lot of the time. To end up getting things right, you need to care primarily about *taking the right actions* in order to reach *concrete goals*. The need to navigate reality is what guides you towards the truth.

Sadly, Twitter arguments end up as lawyers in court more often than as friends over beer.
