Tolerating Uncertainty

[T0rajir0u]

It's one of the many components of Critical Thinking that most people here fail to grasp.

As a critical thinker, one must always be aware of the limitations of one's reasoning. You don't know everything. You can't think perfectly. As such, your conclusions are never definite. Even when you have evidence, you may not be able to draw a conclusion at all.

The ability to tolerate uncertainty is the willingness to admit that you don't have enough information for an answer. It's the capability to resist making snap judgments and siding on one side or another on a given issue. It's the courage to say,

"I don't know."



Think about it.
