Wrong and right can often be situational. Sometimes a perfect solution to one problem can lead to a horrible disaster when applied to a different problem. Moral absolutes do not work in this world, yet too many people are in love with moral absolutes.
This doesn't begin to answer your question, but I have to admit that my own personal philosophy, such as it is, is incomplete and uncodified. So I can't in good conscience answer your question. If that makes me wrong too, I suppose I have to accept the fact.
That's actually a lot like what I've vaguely figured, but I don't think it's everything. Because people manage to keep being wrong, when they're obviously wrong, and that's what I really don't understand.
People manage to be right all the time. When they do something that works. So I guess my original question should have been not how do people manage to be wrong, but how do they manage to KEEP being wrong, when being wrong doesn't work?
