"People with a high degree of intellectual humility (and they are rare) understand that there is far more that they will never know that they will ever know."You begin to improve your thinking ability the moment you admit you're a sloppy, biased, ignorant, emotional, egocentric, self-serving, prejudiced thinker. You are a product of your cultural, political, social, economic environment and its beliefs. And these beliefs were fed--forced upon you before you have develop any critical abilities to assess these beliefs. Therefore, you do not own these beliefs, they own you.
And as result, without a conscious and determined effort to re-examine your beliefs, opinions, attitudes in a disciplined and objective way, you will never develop as an independent thinker and person.
