There seems to be this almost universal desire to be right. like everyone wants to be right all the time. Finding out you were wrong about something is anathema to most. Which is weird because my experience of finding out I'm wrong is kinda cool. It affects me in a similar way to a joke, that moment of disconnect where the direction you thought the narrative was going spins around on it's head. Why do so many people pathologically reject or ignore this feeling? Why is being right about something more important to people than exploring mystery?  :?

Less work for the brain.
