A note in the margins

Marginalium

My commentary on something from elsewhere on the web.

Against intellectual humility:

This model of the human psyche emphasises our hastiness and hubris. But we are subject to other flaws, too – to cravenness, and self-deception. And when it comes to these other flaws, intellectual humility is prone to function less as a guardrail, and more as an alibi.
