Aspiring to greater intellectual humility in science
Rink Hoekstra & Simine Vazire, 2021
"We provide a set of recommendations on how to increase intellectual humility in research articles and highlight the central role peer reviewers can play in incentivizing authors to foreground the flaws and uncertainty in their work, thus enabling full and transparent evaluation of the validity of research."
"When reviewers push for authors to own their limitations, this is not only good for science but may even be in line with (some) authors’ ideals. Of course, reviewers can also use positive comments to reshape incentives; that is, when authors go the extra mile to put the limitations of their work front and centre, reviewers can point this out."
Saint Drogo, known for embodying transformation and humility, reminds us to embrace change with grace. Patron of unyielding faith amidst life's shifts, seek his intercession for stability in turmoil.

Intellectual humility isn’t lacking conviction; you can believe something strongly until your mind is changed, and you believe something else. It also isn’t being wishy-washy. You should have a high bar for what evidence you require to change your mind.
"Negativity is part of life. Unfortunately, social media is increasingly becoming toxic, and I think that it infects all of us if we stay there too long. Just like if you stay in a gas leak too long, you're gonna die. It's not like you're going to die being on social media, but I think you'll be changed."
--Roxane Gay
This is 100% accurate.
The fediverse has a chance to be different. I hope we take it.
While the English word humility originates from the Latin, humilis, meaning meekness or lowliness, the Hebrew equivalent, anavah (עֲנָוָה) stems from the word anu (ענו), meaning “to respond.”
In Judaism, humility is rooted in a sense of responsibility and accountability. From this perspective, the awareness of privilege or proficiency does not perversely inflate one’s sense of self-worth and supremacy above others; rather, it fills one with immense gratitude and indebtedness, generating greater dedication to one’s mission...
In the words of R. Lord Jonathan Sacks: “True humility...does not mean undervaluing yourself. It means valuing other people.”
Your opinion is your opinion, your perception is your perception--do not confuse them with "facts" or "truth". Wars have been fought and millions have been killed because of the inability of men to understand the idea that EVERYBODY has a different viewpoint.
The word “sonder” means “the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it.”
#Humility grants you the ability to experience sonder as one of its many benefits.
As usual when I think "this is a rare case where I can't fail!" the reality hits me in the face and takes away this amazing place of "feeling right". I get reminded of my limitations. When will I learn true #humility?
This time my "charge" against paid #Blender add-ons has quickly revealed that I was operating on a false premise.
It turns out #GPL allows giving your source code to paying customers ONLY. It's looked down upon, but it's allowed by the license.
Saw this quote, ❤️ it and sharing because it’s a beautiful reminder of some words we can all live by: “Hate no one, no matter how much they have wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how life gets. Give much, even if you have been given little. Forgive all, especially yourself. And never stop praying for the best for everyone.” #Humility#Gratitude#Kindness 💚
