As I was heading home, I was listening to the radio for a bit. The host said something that made me think:
"I won't read the comments, because I've been studying and living what I talk about for thirty years, and I'm full of doubts. Almost everyone who comments, by contrast, heard about it yesterday and already has it all figured out. I don't want to feel stupid, so I'll gloss over them."
@stefano It is interesting that he has discarded the possibility that other people might also have thought about the subject that he has spoken about, and that their comments may have brought a fresh perspective.
I have learned much from young people who have brought fresh ideas to my way of thinking.
Have I learned anything from comments people have made on Mastodon? Absolutely! A little humility, the ability to recognize overlooked errors when corrected, … There is much to be learned in conversation. And it is usually possible to block those with ill intent.
@stefano ah yes, 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' vs. 'the more I know, the less I understand' 👍
