Julia Galef: Why You Think You'Re Right - Even If You'Re Wrong

Perspective is everything, especially when it comes to examining your beliefs. Are you a soldier, prone to defending your viewpoint at all costs - or a scout, spurred by curiosity Julia Galef examines the motivations behind these two mindsets and how they shape the way we interpret information, interweaved with a compelling history lesson from 19th-century France. When your steadfast opinions are tested, Galef asks: 'What do you most yearn for Do you yearn to defend your own beliefs or do you yearn to see the world as clearly as you possibly can'
