Food for thought

Said by chipuni, on a friend's (locked) post, but I think the importance of this statement transcends the context:


The difference between "I don't understand X" and "I should attack X" is gigantic. People aren't taught that "I don't understand X" is an opportunity, not a threat.

True. Hence the implication that *teaching* this, on a rational level, if we want to have a functioning and diverse society, is important.
