		stevebmark on July 7, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Microsoft Is Dead (2007) What does it mean when you're often wrong and blast public thinkpieces about your wrong opinions? I think there's an uncomparable difference between between being wrong in your thoughts, vs openly lecturing others about what you're wrong about.

I completely agree. I was trying to say it’s okay to be wrong if you are able to acknowledge it instead of doing mental gymnastics to justify it. I don’t know where Paul Graham stands in this regard.
