Karl Popper’s position. Fallibilism recognizes that our understanding of the world is always tentative and open to revision based on new evidence or logical inconsistencies.

Fallibilism is important for many reasons. An extra one is that fallibilistic thinking means you are better to strive for archetypal virtue than to assume you know it all.
