This thread is basically a buy low/sell high epistemology. The best time to try and understand something is when you're not being forced to by circumstances. The worst time to yield a position is when you are under severe conflict pressure to do so. Hodl and sell positions high.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1174459207652786176 …

Resisting pious preaching about admitting when you are wrong or being willing to change your mind when presented with new contradictory facts is rational.
Mere admission is concession to opposed views which may be just as wrong. There's a better way to update your positions...
