When Being Right Becomes a Prison
Have you ever noticed how fiercely we defend our opinions, even when evidence suggests we might be wrong? James O'Brien's exploration of intellectual humility strikes at the heart of our cultural moment. In a world increasingly defined by polarization and certainty, O'Brien offers something revolutionary: the freedom that comes with admitting you might be wrong. His journey began not through philosophical reflection but personal crisis-when someone he deeply loved became ill, he discovered his arsenal of certainties was worse than useless. It was actively harmful. He was preaching resilience when what they needed was genuine understanding and proper medical support. For much of his life, O'Brien operated under the delusion that absolute self-confidence would make the world bend to his will. This weaponized resilience-the refusal to yield, to question, to doubt-wasn't the asset he imagined but a dangerous liability preventing genuine growth. Our discourse has become "footballified"-we judge actions not by merit but by which "team" performs them. This tribal mentality makes changing positions nearly impossible. How can you admit error when your entire identity is wrapped up in being on the "right side"?
