Hyrum Lewis

Hyrum Lewis is a professor of history at Brigham Young University–Idaho. Quotes When practicing science, we understand that we must alter our paradigms to fit new evidence, but ideology makes us alter new evidence to fit our paradigms. Many argue that we should allow free speech and consider alternative viewpoints because 'we might be wrong.' Actually, we should consider alternative viewpoints because we are certainly wrong and the only way to be less wrong is to have our views challenged. Ideological thinking stifles this open-mindedness that would help eliminate errors in our thinking. It’s Time to Retire the Political Spectrum, Quillette, May 3, 2017.
