"Whenever we propose a solution to a problem, we ought to try as hard as we can to overthrow our solution, rather than defend it. Few of us, unfortunately, practise this precept; but other people, fortunately, will supply the criticism for us if we fail to supply it ourselves. Yet criticism will be fruitful only if we state our problem as clearly as we can and put our solution in a sufficiently definite form—a form in which it can be critically discussed."
Karl Popper - philosopher of science on the nature of rational discussion that we should try to live up to from his book The Logic of Scientific Discovery (via doubtingmarcus)
