When were in scientist mode, we refuse to let our ideas become ideologies. We dont start with answers or solutions; we lead with questions and puzzles. We dont preach from intuition; we teach from evidence. We dont just have healthy skepticism about other peoples arguments; we dare to disagree with our own arguments. Thinking like a scientist involves more than just reacting with an open mind. It means being actively open-minded. It requires searching for reasons why we might be wrongnot for reasons why we must be rightand revising our views based on what we learn.
