Sometimes you can believe the right thing for the wrong reason.

It's dangerous to encourage people to believe false things (or quietly fail to correct false beliefs) if they lead to correct conclusions though. Such strategies may work in the short term, but the world is chaotic, and generally a wrong-but-helpful belief today will become a wrong-and-harmful belief tomorrow. We learned this with the whole 2020-era attempt to try to convince people that covid is not airborne so that people would not hoard masks and leave them for emergency staff. It ended up leading to really harmful misconceptions that are still persisting.

Gettier problems! One of my favorite class of epistemological failures (along with the free pass given to moral luck, and the tolerance of “little follies”, i.e. seemingly innocuous superstitious beliefs) https://warpcast.com/aviationdoctor.eth/0x63ab01cb https://warpcast.com/aviationdoctor.eth/0x7f35e5b8

Great illustration that applies to all of life. Reminds me of concepts from the book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow". In years of following you I've never responded to a post but I really appreciate your logical and rational mindset in what you put forward. Keep up the amazing work @vitalik.eth !!

An argument can have a true conclusion but still be unsound. A basic fact from syllogisms and the source of many fallacies.

Yes, it's not just about being right. How we reach our conclusions matters. Good thinking habits and sound reasoning are crucial, especially when we're dealing with complex issues where we can't always immediately verify if we're correct.

Hello, dear vitalik, we Chinese prefer to call you V God. I am a crypto member from China. The original intention of web3 is decentralization, but the entire crypto market is full of Cabal, manipulation and insider trading. Because of your charitable behavior, the Chinese and English areas have gathered countless believers who support you. But at the same time, there was a capital NEIRO with the same name (the lowercase Niero you sold and donated for charity), which was sniped and controlled by the project party. 78% of the tokens were wantonly pulled up and smashed. There were many KOLs and some insiders among them. After you replied to our official Twitter, they manipulated Twitter to report and gave us a lot of dead fans, which led to Twitter banning it. But we had the courage to fight and gathered the power of the community to fight against it. Although NEIRO is now on Binance and OKX, we are still struggling to survive because our community has a clear goal. That is to carry out global charity to the end
