When were in the Certainty Trap, we tend to view people who disagree with us as hateful, ignorant, or just plain stupid. When it comes to heated social and political issues in particular, many of us know this feeling wella consuming state of righteous indignation and moral outrage. And this response makes sense because our very certainty tells us that there are simple and obvious causes and solutions to the hot-button issues we care about most.
But the things we care about the most arefar more often than notmorally and ethically complex. If the problems that divide us are inherently complicated, then a sense that the answers are obviousand that anyone who disagrees must be deficient in some wayis misplaced. It's an oversimplification that both leads to and reflects faulty thinking. When were certain, we not only fail to recognize the possibility that were wrong but also fail to be clear about the principles and values that drive our disagreement in the first place.
By committing to challenging and clarifying our thinkingby avoiding the trap certainty sets for uswe can increase social trust, reduce political polarization, and better address the worlds pressing challenges.
