- Learn to rethink. Let go of old knowledge and opinions, and be willing to learn.
- You live in a changing world, therefore, you must discern what to think and what to rethink.
- The smarter you are, the harder it is to question yourself and rethink.
- In the preacher mode, questioning your thinking is translated as a lack of weakness, but in the scientific mode, questioning your thinking is translated as a way to discover truth.
- The purpose is not to stop your thinking but to accelerate your rethinking.
- Too many times, we have just enough information to be confident, but we are not right.
- The antidote for not being stuck on Mount Stupid is humility.
- Arrogance is the confidence of ignorance.
- Arrogance blinds us from our weaknesses.
- Being wrong doesn’t need to depress you — see it as you discovered something.
- If you’re insecure, you make fun of others.
- If you don’t change your mind frequently, you’re going to be wrong a lot.
- It doesn’t matter whose fault it is, it’s your responsibility to fix it.
