The allure of us-versus-them fundamentalism is not unique to any single political persuasion or ideological viewpoint. But what do we lose if we all lose the freedom to disagree and learn from our mistakes? The Right to Be Wrong is a vigorous defence of independent thinking in an increasingly intolerant world. Religious or secular, fundamentalism is not unique to any particular political persuasion. To those in narrow-minded pursuit of ideological purity, disagreement is tantamount to treason and punishable by censure, ostracism, or cancellation. But how does this attitude shape how we engage with contemporary politics, public opinion, or art? Passionately argued, coolly critical, irreverently humorous, The Right to Be Wrong is a vigorous defence of independent thinking in an increasingly conformist world, which dares to ask: What do we lose if we lose the freedom to disagree?
