Make the Decision Right: A 1987 Aphorism Against the Age of the Open Tab

An old professor of mine, holding forth in 1987, handed his students one sentence to carry out the door: don't make the right decision; make the decision right. He attached a coda that landed harder than the maxim itself. Regret, he told us, is mindless. I have been turning that sentence over for nearly four decades, and the turning has become its own education, because the sentence makes a metaphysical bet most listeners never notice they are taking. It claims that rightness arrives after the choosing, manufactured through labor and revision, and that no quantity of advance analysis can locate it beforehand, since the future refuses to sit still long enough to be computed.

Wisdom in Space Jun 1

A person who knows all the answers, has an opinion on everything, has a certainty backed up by rational argument, has very little possibility of further progress. Such a person is unlikely to walk away from a discussion with anything more than a reaffirmation of how right he or she has been all along.

Having Knowledge Versus Knowing 3
It is possible to have knowledge without self-awareness. But it is impossible to truly know without self-awareness. Without self-awareness, your understanding is fundamentally limited and you are blind to your own ignorance and inner contradictions.

Having Knowledge Versus Knowing 2
Just having knowledge means being unaware of what you do not know. Truly knowing means being aware of what you do not know.

Having Knowledge Versus Knowing

Having knowledge and truly knowing are very different. The latter requires an absence of inner contradictions, such as believing you know something you do not actually know.
