The idolatry of ideas
Ideas cannot be absolute if we want to improve ourselves. When an idea or theory becomes
dogma immediately closes the door to intellectual progress. Scientific proven truth can stay
unquestioned until someone finds something new or is tested in a different way, then it changes
and develops producing something useful and a contribution to humanity.

For a conversation to be constructive and contribute to any final conclusion useful, the arguing
can be done Socrates way. Socratic dialogue is when dealing with an open mind without
thinking about having the absolute truth and be humble enough to be convinced by the other
person. If not, which is the purpose of the conversation?, only to convince the other person
about what I think to impose my point of view? to push for an agenda?So to satisfy my ego and
impose in the worst case scenario) or to feel I’m the answer of someone else search, “only I can
help you he can not help me”. The university professors say sometimes they learn from the
students, this is an attitude of respect toward the person we’re addressing with knowledge or
deal with an issue, the other opinion is valued even if it contradict ours and we be genuinely
willing to accept if it shows that it is a better position than our own. If we submit to that process
it is because we are confident that our position is a strong one. if we do well and defend an
dogmatized idea tooth and nail means there’s insecurity on our position. Of course this can only
be based on evidence, logic and reason inherent in the mind and human nature.

The human being has spiritual needs and that search is satisfied in everyone differently. This is
included in the Sermon on the Mount spoken by Jesus in the gospels, though this is a literal
interpretation has much wisdom in this case because it serves as a source of wisdom not to
impose ideas on others. (buscar cita) The difference between common and scientific thinking is
that common thinking is universal and uses own experiences and other’s to solve certain
problems, but distorts the information through personal motivations and prejudices, while
scientific thinking which is also universal use a standardized method for creating so-called
scientific knowledge based on the observation to serve humanity. (cita Durk)
