The ability to acknowledge what is a mistake requires a lot of knowledge. Most people deny their mistakes is because their knowledge is not there yet.

Sometimes this is true, especially in fields of scientific discovery.

How is this only sometimes?

@4w4r3n355 Because, sometimes people make "mistakes" deliberately, e.g. faking results

@pixiedust mistakes create problems, problems create difficulty to lives, not just the self but many others around as well, such as stress pain and suffer. If someone deliberately making mistake then such person is really at a high level of stupidity.

@4w4r3n355 I agree

No, most people don't acknowledge their mistakes because their fragile egos don't permit them to, their incurious nature prevents them from being open to information that might contradict them, and they have no real commitment to understanding actual reality.

In their ignorance and very deluded state of mind, they do not even know what kind of liar, deceitful, dishonest they are when they deny their mistakes and blame others for it.

I am a mistake, my Dad said so !!

Who does not make mistakes in life. If you are a mistake to your Dad, then that is his mistake, not your.

@4w4r3n355
I was concieved by accident, that was the mistake. At least it was not a virginal conception otherwise they might have named me Jesus !!

@VAL3941 ok, I am not going to debate further. I am not here to joke around like an idiot.

@VAL3941 Same here -- Mommy and Daddy's little accident. Trailed my 3 older brothers by 10 years. The oldest of them was 20 years my senior. My parents were 40. Common sense says it was an "oh shit" moment for my Dad. I did not feel less loved over it though, just more grateful for their sacrifices.

@mordant
You hit the nail on the head.

@4w4r3n355
Take life very seriously, do you ?

@VAL3941 Life is very short, only idiots would not take it seriously.

@4w4r3n355 nice to hear !
