Level 6 concept (High) - Important concept an Izara Community should implement and maintain
Overview
In the search for truth a level of humility should be encouraged as complete understandings of complex systems is near impossible. Almost every agreed upon truth has at some time been upended by new ideas and information.
Through questioning and refining arguments different interpretations of evidence or thought can be analysed, and the community can decide which make the most sense at any time.
