[ExI] quote of the day

I have finally seen a definition of humility that I can say fits me:

Again, from Superforecasting:

'....intellectual humility ...is a recognition that reality is profoundly
complex, that seeing things clearly is a constant struggle, when it can be
done at all, and that human judgment must therefore be riddled with
mistakes.  This is true for fools and geniuses alike.  So it's quite
possible to think highly of yourself and be intellectually humble.'
