Intellectual Honesty

If you reflect for a second, clear thinking is not usually the goal we have in mind. We are usually after a combination of quick, simple, or easy thinking. However, none of those things are particularly accurate and won’t lead you to the answers you seek. Unfortunately, it’s what we are wired to do, and it takes conscious effort to slow down and be thorough. Most of the time, we also want to quell our sense of uncertainty, which leads us to conclusions that, while speedy, are not focused on accuracy. Intellectual honesty is about seeking plain and unadulterated truth.
