It' a good line and true, but it's an issue when that humble mentality leads to analysis paralysis or over exaggerating uncertainty. Too many times we have experts claiming "We still don't know anything about COVID!" or "we don't know if vaccines will prevent transmission!". Oh yes, you do, you know more than enough to make many practical decisions with confidence.Experts should be bold, confident, and stop downplaying their knowledge.
If only these guys would admit to "we don't know or understand anything, we're just trying our best out of an abudance of caution because no human really knows or understands this virus" I think they (and the Gedaliah Society in Crown Heights) would have more credibility and adherence.
Humility is great, but decisive statements are better than humble ones when the prevailing attitude is “nobody knows anything, so I’ll do whatever I want”.
Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.
As they say in Yiddish, "Men darf visen vee ahn in vee os".
Can you please type that in Yiddish, then I might understand what you’re trying to say
In a way, it is a Machlokes Rambam & Raaved
+1 I usually prefer Yiddish written with the alphabet (I "read" Yiddish by sounding it out, as I've discussed in the past). But here I truthfully don't understand...
I'm not sure why my statement would need to conflict with yours. Humility doesn't mean you have to pretend to be an idiot with no self esteem. It means you understand that your knowledge is only from Hashem and it's nothing compared to God's infinite knowledge. With that in mind, you can be a humble yet helpful expert that people can rely on.
A literal translation would be "You have to know where in and where out". In other words, you have to know in which situation to act/apply something one way, and in which situation to act/apply something a different way.
We're in agreement
That's no fun.
Lol, agreedHere's an argument if you must - is Fauci bold and confident or dishonest?
Fauci is a good example of bold and confidence for the most part, but unfortunately he's also dishonest.
טוב שברופאים לגיהנום
I feel, in the spirit of a discussion with PG, this post should've ended with the words:טוב שברופאים לגיהנום
So basically, Pfizer originally just went very conservative on everything. It paid off.https://twitter.com/AlbertBourla/status/1362738540732436480?s=19
