• Hence, crazy as it sounds, I look forward to being proven wrong.

    Not sure I would agree with the wording...

    When that happens, I accept it and embrace it, and I am better off for it. If you show me I am wrong, I will thank you for it.

    I have felt this way for a long time. Most people get upset when you discuss things like this. However we all are wrong quite frequently.

    One analogy I use is about opinions. People frequently acuse others of being opinionated. Well of course people are opinionated! We ALL ARE!!! We also always believe our opinions are correct.

    Once we know that our opinions are incorrect, we change them!

    The thing is that humans seem reluctant to accept factual evidence easily. It is probably due to things like how our media outright lies about things to sway public opinion - which causes people to fall into two groups. The first is the majority of people who believe everything they hear from their favorite source, regardless of how ridiculous it is (see recent jobs reports that the liberal media claims is evidence our economy is sound as just one example). The second is those people who hear things, but actually try to determine for themselves whether there is truth behind it. I submit most of the people in this group fall into the second group.
