Mantra - Doubt

 

Doubt

... stay open:

  • delay judgment ...
  • hold space for skepticism ...
  • let go of decisiveness ...
  • admit the possibility of error ...
  • resist the rush to closure ...

Be a better Bayesian — recognize uncertainty, and adjust belief as new information arrives.

Say "Yes, and ..."

... and empty ...

... and soften ...
