The Death of Expertise Was a Lie. What Actually Died Was Our Ability to Admit We're Wrong.

New research shows intellectual humility predicts who can spot misinformation. Not intelligence or education. Character. The ability to be wrong.

We lack the character capacity to change our minds when evidence contradicts what we want to believe.
