Edd Dumbill's comments on intellectual honesty have some relevance to my last post, and are worth reading anyway.
The state of affairs demands that we take a big step, and stop looking only to breathless yes-men. We must find people who will criticise us honestly and make them our friends. We must learn to view being wrong as an essential step to getting it right, and not as another vote for the worthlessness of our existence. We must, foremost, be honest with ourselves. [Edd Dumbill]
