Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
Balancing Skepticism and Seekingness
The concept of skepticism and seekingness represents the spectrum between resisting bad ideas and exploring new ideas. Skepticism involves shooting down ideas and finding flaws, while seekingness is about considering ideas outside the norm and giving them a chance. Surprisingly, research shows that people's tendencies towards skepticism and seekingness are independent of each other. It's crucial to have a balance of both traits, as being too skeptical can border on cynicism, while being too seeking may lead to naivety. Thus, individuals may naturally lean more towards one end of the spectrum, which is not necessarily problematic.
