Join us Wednesday, September 11th, for a special program cohosted by Rajani Huded and Glenn Lippman. The topic is Intellectual Humility. Could understanding Intellectual Humility be our first step in understanding our biases, why hate crimes evolved, and how we can be a better version of ourselves.
Intellectual Humility is the willingness to recognize that we are not always correct, and that what we think or believe might actually be wrong. It is not a weakness or character flaw to be wrong. It is about being open to the idea that we all have cognitive blind spots. Is it important to be right or to understand. It is a virtue. Do you solicit and seek out opposing views? Do you enjoy the pleasant surprise of discovering you’re mistaken? Learning something new often happens when we admit we were wrong.
Rajani suggested this first video as a wake up call or Call to Action.
