Some inside CBS called it censorship. Management said it was an editorial call. The truth is, right now, nobody outside the room actually knows.Instead of facts, the media and online commentary rushed to fill the void with certainty—proof once again that rage bait and tribal narratives matter more than restraint or honesty. In this episode, Chris makes a simple but unpopular case: it’s okay to say “I don’t know.”From journalism to investing to everyday life, pretending to have answers you don’t have is how people get misled. Real intelligence isn’t loud certainty—it’s knowing your limits, doing the work, and letting the facts come in before drawing conclusions.
