Synopsis "Why You Are Probably Wrong"

Certainty feels reassuring. History is less kind to it. Follow the pattern across the places we look for solid ground. Certain areas of science have been declared nearly finished just before being revolutionized. Religions that once organized whole civilization are now read as myth or metaphor. Philosophers have dismantled their own systems. Official histories keep changing with new voices and discoveries. Governments that promised permanence have collapsed, and the daily news sells fear more reliably than proportion. None of this is an argument for cynicism. It is an argument to develop a harder habit: Hold your views with conviction and still leave room to revise them when new evidence is presented. Afterall, the individuals and societies who adapt from the latest information and technologies tend to be the most successful.
