Stupidity and Research

A friend recommended this short essay that resonates with my own philosophy of scientific research.

The importance of stupidity in scientific research [PDF]

One of the beautiful things about science is that it allows us to bumble along, getting it wrong time after time, and feel perfectly fine as long as we learn something each time.

—

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?- Albert Einstein
