“I Am Wrong” Is One Of The Most Liberating Sentences Ever
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Most of us can admit we were wrong—yesterday, last year, “back then.” But Agnes Callard’s Open Socrates points to something far more confronting (and far more freeing): Socrates didn’t want you to say “I was wrong.” He wanted you to say “I am wrong.”That tiny shift into present tense hits the ego like a flashbang. Because now it’s not a distant mistake—it’s your identity in the moment. And that’s exactly where growth lives. In this soundbite, we talk about why we cling to being right, how “I am wrong” triggers our inner defense attorney, and why staying open to your current wrongness can be one of the most practical life upgrades you’ll ever make.
