    Evidence In Kathryn Schulz's Evidence

    The act of actively combating our inductive bias in Kathryn Schulz’s Evidence in Kathryn Schulz’s essay, “Evidence”, the argument of the essay follows various situations brought up by Schulz, showing that people should take a positive approach to being wrong, and accept our error-prone nature, rather than obsessing with a perfect inadvertently-free ideal. Schulz ties together a lot of strong evidence, but fades back from a clear conclusion, steering the readers toward a relationship between error and the self. She further studies moral transformation on conversations, our attachment to a view wrongly identified due to our pre-conceived opinion off prior experience. Schulz stresses that in order for us to improve our relationship with to evidence,…
