1–1+1–1+1–1 ⋯ = 1/2

A = 1–1+1–1+1–1⋯

1-A=1-(1–1+1–1+1–1⋯)

1-A=1–1+1–1+1–1+1⋯

1-A =A

1-A+A=A+A

1 = 2A

1/2 = A

Being humble, here, means being aware of how difficult your instincts can make it to get the facts right. It means being realistic about the extent of your knowledge. It means being happy to say “I don’t know.” It also means, when you do have an opinion, being prepared to change it when you discover new facts. It is quite relaxing being humble, because it means you can stop feeling pressured to have a view about everything, and stop feeling you must be ready to defend your views all the time.
