Konrad Lorenz reveals why it's crucial to question your favorite hypotheses daily and stay open to new insights.

Konrad Lorenz
Konrad Zacharias Lorenz was an Austrian zoologist and one of the main representatives of classical comparative behavioral research. He himself referred to this field as “animal psychology” until 1949 and is regarded as its founding father in the German-speaking world.
This quote reminds us to stay open to new insights and to constantly question our cherished assumptions.
