How deep are you going here? Any easy examples? I'm not emailing my wife that's she's generally right 95% of the time am I?
A habit I'm starting to pick up: When you realize someone you disagreed with in the past was actually right, email them and let them know (even if the disagreement was months / years ago) Benefits: (1) It's nice for them to hear it (2) It makes the update stickier for you

Hm, hard to give necessary context but here are two vague examples: (1) Someone told me [mutual acquaintance of ours] was undermining them professionally; I didn't believe them at the time, but later learned more info that made this seem very plausible..
-
(2) Someone told me a pattern they've noticed about how psychology works; I did not recognize it at the time, but a few years later had noticed the same pattern myself

That's interesting on a few levels. Thanks Julia. Generally I really do love the idea. Just trying to see where it fits best

I have similar reasons for sending "That thing you encouraged me to do ended up working well. [data or elaboration goes here]." and would encourage more people to try it.

(I'd probably send in the event it was a notable failure, too, but the copy would be different for social reasons. "Worthy experiment run per your suggestion; wanted to close the loop and tell you of the results." or similar.)

The most important for me would be to de-train the tendency we all have of doing mental gymnastics along the lines of "I was right in a way" or even stronger forms where you turn blind eyes to evidence etc. A clear admittance + outwardly expressed helps avoid that.
-
Also if you push the culture your circles in the direction of making it common, everyone can admit mistakes easier.

This makes me curious how often this happens to you

Then they will get to say "I told you so" :)

I do this with my kids. Acknowledging I was wrong and the kid was right helps them see it's ok to be wrong. And to own up to having been wrong.

I disagree. But maybe I’ll email you sometime later.
