Intellectual Humility: Strive to Discover the Extent of Your Ignorance

[Moon Knight]

To explain intellectual humility in brief:

To be intellectually humble is to develop knowledge of the extent of one's ignorance. Thus, intellectual humility includes an acute awareness that one's native egocentrism is likely to function self-deceptively (to tell the mind that it knows more than it does). It means being aware of one's biases and prejudices as well as the limitations of one's viewpoint. It involves being keenly aware of the extent of one's ignorance when thinking-through any issue, especially if the issue is emotionally charged. Intellectual humility depends on recognizing that one should not claim more than one actually knows. It does not imply spinelessness or submissiveness. It implies the lack of intellectual arrogance, pretentiousness, boastfulness, or conceit.It requires identifying and assessing the foundations of one's beliefs, looking especially for those that cannot be justified by good reasons.​

Well? What is the Extent of Your Ignorance? Like the quote, we are all ignorant, just on different subjects...What are you ignorant on?

[Mighty NorCal]

I second that. I never had enough desire to learn it. just seems the juice aint worth the squeeze on that one lol

Physics. I love astronomy, phyical cosmology, astrophysics, etc-and physics is such a huge part of that, but it's so hard to understand. It's just so much to learn.

And as far as wrestling related- I'd have to say I'm pretty ignorant about TNA too.

I am ignorant when it comes to art. I just really reall REALLY dont understand how something that looks like finger paint could be considered so GOOD, and worth so much money. I am beffudled by this. If I payed 5 gs for some of the shit i see, i would kick my own ass

 

[Colamania]

Don West and Mike Tenay do suck. But I enjoy TNA regardless, although they have shite storylines.

Ermm... I'm ignorant of ROH. I know I shouldn't be, but living here in the UK with limited access to the web save for 2 weekends a month spent at my Dad's, I don't get the oppertunity to watch it.

Obviously, I don't have Sky, so I don't get the Fight Network either.

Chemistry.

I am fascinated with physics and found a loop hole in my high school so I could take 3 years of physics and enver take chemistry. Come my freshman year of college, I had to take a college level chemistry course with me having abolustely no background knowledge of it what so ever. I struggled through that class and pray to God I never open another damn chemistry book in my life.
