What THIS Viral Traffic Stop Reveals About Pride

A police officer writes a woman a ticket for holding a phone in her right hand... but there's one problem: she doesn't have a right hand. This viral traffic stop illustrates a lesson that goes far beyond law enforcement. What happens when evidence challenges our beliefs? Do we follow the evidence wherever it leads, or do we double down on our original conclusion? In this episode of Red Pen Logic, we explore the importance of intellectual humility—the willingness to admit when we're wrong and revise our beliefs in light of better evidence. In a culture that often rewards pride and stubbornness, humility is an essential virtue for anyone who wants to think clearly and pursue truth. A humble thinker asks: • What am I missing? • Could I be wrong? • Have I understood this correctly? • What would change my mind? Because if you're never willing to ask those questions, you're probably not pursuing truth—you're defending your ego. ————— FIND MORE FREE TRAINING ————— Website: https://www.str.org/ Stand to Reason University: https://training.str.org Stand to Reason Apps: https://www.str.org/apps ————— CONNECT ————— RPL TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@original_mrb RPL Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/redpenlogic RPL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redpenlogic/ STR YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/STRvideos STR Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/standtoreason93 STR X: https://x.com/STRtweets STR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/standtoreason STR LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stand-to-reason ————— GIVE ————— Support RPL: https://www.str.org/redpen Support Stand to Reason: https://www.str.org/donate
