The forum discussion centers on the exploration of human flaws, including bias, ignorance, hypocrisy, fear, and self-righteousness. Participants openly acknowledge their imperfections and engage in a dialogue about the difficulty of admitting these flaws. Key contributors, such as Zero and russ_watters, emphasize that all humans are susceptible to these flaws to varying degrees, highlighting the challenge of self-awareness in recognizing one's own shortcomings. The conversation also touches on the idea that many of these flaws are not exclusive to humans but can be observed in other animals as well.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for psychologists, sociologists, political analysts, and anyone interested in understanding human behavior and the complexities of self-criticism.
Good one. I am extremely intolerant of people who don't try (at anything).

it all falls under the heading of imperfection; a.k.a., being human.
Well, this IS the Politics forum, isn't it?
It is quite telling (though wholly unsurprising) that EVERYONE who responded declined to address the second part of the last sentence I posted. So much for admitting faults.
Well, I was actually talking about myself.
I will certainly admit to being self-righteous. And I also am quite aware of what I was doing here. This was a test and somewhat of a trap (though you had to close the door behind you and turn the key yourself to become trapped). But it was also an open invitation for people to prove without being specific that they are capable of self-criticism. It should have been easy and painless. I'm not surprised at the outcome, but maybe a little disappointed.
