Asking many people with the same perspective only amplifies the errors that they have and you have.
Don’t seek why you are right, but rather examine how you might be wrong.
The best ideas and theories are those developed by defeating the counter-hypothesis.
Surprises, insights, and great discoveries come from challenging prevailing wisdom, ideas, and perspectives.
Learning requires asking questions. Asking hard questions requires examining what you believe and why it might be wrong. Humble yourself and re-examine your ideas; it will make you a better decision maker.
Pollsters, the vast majority of them progressives, have become political operatives. They see their task as ginning up political support for their candidates and demoralizing the opposition. Some are profiteering as internal pollsters for political campaigns and special interests. Never again will Americans believe these “mainstream” pollsters’ predictions because they have been exposed as rank propagandists. That bleak assessment won’t make much difference to pollsters. They privately understand what their real mission has become and why they are no longer scientific prognosticators.
