Excerpt: “Let go of the need to be right. Embrace a desire for added accuracy over time that adjusts according to your understanding of the truth and has nothing to do with ego or personal gain whatsoever. 

“It is completely unnecessary and counterproductive to hang your identity on a narrative. 

“Our relationship to the truth is asymptotic, and we get closer and closer to defining the truth the more accurate information we allow ourselves to take in. The more discerning we are with experience, the more we grow, the more we can identify the plays and the tricks, the more we are able to stay mentally fluid, to pivot and adjust. 

“One of these tricks/plays is that we were all trained to ego identify with the heroes of our narratives so that even when they feed us disinformation, we will buy their stories whole hog without questioning them.”
