Quote of the Day
"None of your views should be so cherished that you won't abandon them when the facts change or learn something disconfirming. The world changes, and nobody knows a fraction of what's out there. As soon as someone commits their life to one big idea, they'll believe it no matter how wrong it may be."
(Morgan Housel)
