Problem
After viewing the clip from Adam Ruins Everything and reading the Scientific American blog post about the show, think about and respond to the following questions in 1-2 strong paragraphs:
1. As it is described in the blog post and demonstrated in the show clip, how is Adam "right" about being "wrong"? Do you agree with the claims in the blog post about attitudes toward new information? Explain.
2. Reflect on your own personal experience with research and new information. How do you typically approach discussions and reading when your own ideas are challenged? Do you enjoy the experience of encountering ideas that seem counterintuitive or do you find the experience uncomfortable? Explain.
3. Given the reflection above, how do you think you will approach your research project this semester? Will your choice of topic be influenced by your level of comfort with changing ideas?
