Key point 4: The illusion of infallibility.

Human institutions seek to minimize errors, but history shows that information is never infallible. Religions, states, and science have made serious mistakes, often without acknowledging them. The resistance to accepting failures has led to collective disasters. Pseudoscientific beliefs, erroneous economic theories, and bad military decisions have shown how error infiltrates all areas. Today, technology and artificial intelligence amplify this illusion of infallibility, presenting biased algorithms as objective truths. The real danger arises when society stops questioning its systems, reinforcing unquestionable dogmas. Without self-correcting mechanisms, errors persist and worsen. Democracy, science, and a free press have tried to create spaces to correct failures, but their fragility makes them vulnerable. In a world of accelerated information, the key is not to avoid mistakes, but to recognize and correct them before they become catastrophes.
