Can you admit you were wrong?

[Anonymous]

In 4 years time if none of it has come true, can/will you be able to admit you were wrong and have been defaming half the population?
As just admitting fault might not be enough, would you hide from your past statements?

[Sonorous]

Yeah, I find it pretty easily. A major reason why I believe I find it so easy is because I try not to attach my identity to conclusions that I make. So, I don't see myself as less than if I'm not accurate. The way I see it, since the universe is so complex, I think most of us are inaccurate about a lot of things & that it isn't our fault that we're made in a way where accuracy doesn't come naturally. Part of what makes journeys so interesting to me is how they can be filled with many points of discovery. Really helps to give meaning.

About what? Trump being a threat to Democracy? He already is talking about the House "finding a way" to get him a third term and thinks he should be allowed to ignore checks and balances by bypassing Senate approval of his Cabinet. He has already proven that he is a threat to democracy and the constitution before he's even taken office. I haven't said too much else about him so I'm afraid I won't be needing to admit to anything in this particular "four year" scenario you ask about. Whether he succeeds at ending Democracy is dependent on other factors but the threat has already been proven.

Will you if you're wrong And the things talked about actually happen?

[Syntosi]

I got no problem admitting when I was wrong. That said, I do my very best to not make faulty statements in the first place so when I say that Trump is going to ruin America, like he did during his first term as president, I dont have to stand corrected at the end because I will be justified.

Avoiding the political slant in this question...

I sometimes make mistakes, and when II do, I do two things:

1. I fess up to my mistake, admit that I was wrong, and make appropriate apologies.

2. I learn from my mistake, and try to not do it again.

Yes

Here

When I make mistakes (which I do) I admit to them. I have done that here in the past publicly, and I will again when it is appropriate.

This does not mean I will agree with your politics without good reasons to do so.

I do not know because so far I have never been wrong.

I said what I said*

*Until evidence to the contrary makes me reflect and change my opinion...

Some people live a lie their whole life... I think this will be the case here...
