Thought-provoking and interesting. Intellectual humility deals a death blow to deep ideological commitments that force a square peg in round holes, as you said. Jordan Peterson writes similarly about this phenomenon in “12 Rules for Life”, and he argues that true *thinking* actually requires a simultaneous dialogue within yourself between two internal avatars, one of which represents your own biases and inclinations, and one of which does its best to objectively critique said biases rationally. He also promotes the value of intellectual humility in the form of accepting uncertainty in pursuit of the truth.
