I find it very rewarding surrounding myself with people who set out to see where they are wrong. I am disappointed that we do live with quick access to information, but we aren't in the habit of checking things out before communicating them as facts. I would love to see a cultural shift that socially rewarded people who admitted when they were wrong rather than rewarding people for stubborn and superficial confidence. I also wish it wasn't such a taboo to politely point out that someone's facts are likely mistaken and to suggest further research.People need the ability to reevaluate what they know.
