that I am wrong about everything

I am not sure we are always "wrong" about everything. But if we are not open to being wrong it makes finding something closer to "truth" much more complicated.

I think conformity is one of our animal instincts that all humans share to some degree. Moving with the heard is easier. Doing what is easy does not make someone weak. Doing something hard is not always productive. Usually hard things can be productive. But being an alcoholic is hard and I do not think it is productive.

A silly example, walking on our feet vs our hands seems like a good idea and people teach us to walk on our feet. But we still should acknowledge that we are learning when we let people teach us this 😆
