@dastanjan320 3 жыл бұрын
And one of the reasons why people fear that humble act is because they fear how others will act. Some people will exploit your smallest mistakes and undermine you just because you admitted your in incorrectness. Thus many prefer to hide their mistakes : mistakes makes you lose authority and credibility. Saying a wrong statement and making it public is a big bad fault as trying to correct yourself is a red flag for critics that you are not good at what your doing.
@iantaakalla8180 2 жыл бұрын
And sometimes, some mistakes would actually cause a severe loss of respect, credibility, lifestyle because of repercussions, and plenty of other side effects. While you should always seek to be honest in your mistakes and disclose your mistakes when appropriate, some mistakes are beyond the pale and cannot be excused. Faced with that, many choose to hide the mistakes because everything has piled up so much that whatever they did wouldn’t be able to handle it. For example, say another KZfaqr also is an educational KZfaqr, similar to Primer and 3blue1brown. They suddenly become viral with a video, a video they only realized presented bad information long after it was posted. That person is known to hate misinformation, and promotes checking work and critical thinking. That person runs many projects. Their entire fanbase as it stood was because of that video, and they will likely have faults in other videos. To some people, that is good enough to not be an educational KZfaqr, and their analysis would be correct. That KZfaqr realizes that mistake. That person fears that people knowing he spread misinformation, so they hide that fact for they fear the disruption and repercussions.

There's two motivators. The first one is that humans tend to be figuratively allergic to being wrong. When it comes to something that's important to you admitting you messed up takes a lot of effort. That's the internal motivation. The second one is that many people will see you as weak and unreliable if you admit to being wrong. An example of this is one I sometimes encounter amongst anti-intellectual people, claiming that science isn't so great if scientists frequently have to admit to having been wrong about something. That's the external motivation. Of course there's other stuff but that's the two I think are the most important.
@Ominous_Odyssey 3 жыл бұрын
@@filipwolffs Well said. I think it's important to own up to your mistakes, but it's also important to acknowledge that some people want to do the same, but just don't have the courage to admit to their mistakes (at least not publicly). At the same time though, as was said above, there are also those who enjoy being right so much that they refuse to admit when they're wrong. Reasons for not taking responsibility for your actions vary person to person I suppose.

What I think your talking about is, if only we had less corrupt politicians that just don’t care if there wrong, because they have nothing to be afraid and can do whatever they want. But you can’t fix those people with critical thinking, simply because they don’t actually care that there wrong, as long as they get what they want.

- the fat man/ his golden statue everyone calls "Buddha" is actually not a depiction of Buddha - even the biggest of baleen whales, blue whales, are anatomically unable to swallow a human - europe didn't colonise africa to make slaves, in fact they legitimised their deeds by wanting to end slavery in all of africa - Jesus gets mentioned more often in the Quran than Muhammad - the word "eskimo" is not a racist slur which allegedly means "raw-meat-eater", but a neutral word which means "snowshoe-maker"

@@everab1209 According to Paul E. Lovejoy's (2012) "Transformations of Slavery: A History of Slavery in Africa." and others, such as a documentary from german- french TV- channel "Arte", to legitimate their invasive politics in africa (which of course were in reality mostly economicaly driven) colonialists insisted on a humanitarian cause. The whole "civilise the oh-so-poor savages" racists' argument. One of the main causes of humanitarianism was abolotionism at that time (speaking 2nd half of the 19th century). In fact the europeans, not only colonial powers but also non- colonising nations like Austria- Hungary, had been patrolling the atlantic to catch slave traders, both european/american and barbary pirates, since around 1800. The colonial powers were capable of reducing 'obvious' slavery, but never suceeded to eradicate it completely. Also they forced labour on rebellious and otherwise 'criminal'- deemed africans which can be considered a form of slavery itself.

@@everab1209 You're welcome. The main difference between american colonisation and african colonisation was the time. In 1500 to 1700 slavery was acceptable and therefore the spanish and portuguese did what they did in south and central america. In 1800 the colonisers needed a new excusion for exploiting foreign societies and therefore came up with raciology and the "we need to save and civilise" attitude. Although their methods were the same. I am from austria (former austria- hungary), which didn't colonise (not because we were morally superior, we just didn't make it on time and the other superpowers already took everything) so in history in school we learn about the german colonies in africa, therefore i got to know about the differences between african and american colonialism. The germans committed their first genocide in Namibia, where they eradicated the revolting Herero tribe, killing 80% of them, all supposedly in the name of progress, humanitarianism and abolutionism. The real reason of course was money and the prestige of haveing colonial land.

Primer, not sure if you are ever going to have the chance to read this, but nonetheless: HUGE THANK YOU for uploading this video. All my favorite KZfaq channels have made something really similar (i.e. Krugesezart uploaded an "apology video" and took two other videos down a couple of years ago and after that the channel improved in quality and its fame rose even further). Nice thing about internet is its ability to broadcast and scale up good things, and through this video you are scaling up your recent learnings which is something I am really grateful about. Sorry for any mistakes in this message and, once again, thank you for all the valuable insights (in this and all other of your videos). Bye!

Keep in mind buddy that they may be some who wish to admit defeat or just a mistake, but in some places the smallest mistakes can be used against you. Politics is the biggest example of this! Have you seen a politician admit they failed to a project or their mandate? No! Why? Because one mistake is enough for other to exploit them and make their career miserable, this is why they hide their mistakes for which the people suffer and when they admit them, 90% is when they cannot be used against them anymore. If you or me would become politicians, we would surely make mistakes as people do, but if we publicly admit our faults, there is a good chance that the opposition will exploit our only small made mistakes and dishonour our career.
