Most of us will do anything to avoid being wrong. But what if we're wrong about that? "Wrongologist" Kathryn Schulz makes a compelling case for not just admitting but embracing our fallibility.
Talk by Kathryn Schulz.
I love this talk. I think so much lately about insularity, especially on the internet, and the way that groups of people cluster around their favourite topics and their particular set of 'confirming' data regarding some or other position. All while another group does the same thing regarding a contradictory view. And then I research for myself and so often find that I just don't know or that issues are enormously complicated. This talk is a testament to the power of keeping an open mind.
that was the purest truth i've ever heard. and it came from a human, not a god, not an alien, not some supercomputer, but just a normal frail human being
Such a great speech... And presented very well. Kudos
Great talk with an anthropological perspective. It's not easy to look from someone else's point of view especially when it is extremely different than our own.
💕 . . . This is actually a really fun video, awesome perspective. I really enjoyed!
I have goosebumps of truth!
No, just felt like putting that there. I understand the point.
Great random discovery 🙏🏻👍🏻💯
Although this is a great talk, I find it really amusing how she gives this talk about considering you might be wrong. And does it like she's definitely right.
It might be so that things don't work out like you thought, so you're wrong. But if you constantly consider how you might be wrong you'll never be able to do anything, one of your many assumptions might be wrong. We make assumptions because we need to. And we make them based on evidence. We can't be sure, but we work with what we have.
I think she is saying that we think we are right or certain that this will happen,but with time things turn out to be different then expected and sometimes to the level that become disastoroy.It's case for uncertainty that things are uncertain and what we think is right may actually be wrong and that's ok but we should consider our actions which cause big destruction knowing our fallibilty that how much to does
Very cool
I'm always right ... until I'm wrong...I think this is why I cant envision the future ...I can't think beyond what I have to do tomorrow...I find it very difficult to make appointments 2 weeks from now
As I see it (but I might be wrong), is a cultural issue to expect always to be right and to have an education system that doesn't allow experiments and always expect only the "right answer", regardless that many things are highly subjective.
Also, there is also about how you say, not what you say. There are thousands of love songs and you don't go on their videos and comment "Yes, is a love song... Yes, he/she love her/him and he/she hurt his/her feelings. What's up with these trivialities?".
I think I love this lady; I might be wrong though.
Tell me, why should a question be relevant?
Wow!!!
not last
It does not have to be relevant for me to ask simple questions and hopefully get an honest response.
There's nothing wrong with reminding trivialities from time to time. Or else they tend to get forgotten.
Huh ?
You regard them as trivialities.
Once you can see them as important we can talk.
Nope.
Funny, I got less reactions out of what I commented than what I expected to get. No matter, wasn't that much fun anyways. Also, when you said "we" implying your religion and members of it, what religion would that be exactly?
Look out we got a badass over here.
Clearly missed the point.
well shes wrong about the god bit
This video is wrong
This is religion for you. They just keep on walking right off the cliff.
Good points too bad you had to throw politics into the mix. Trash Bush but not a word about the current president. Says a lot about who you are and discounts the message
+n2cycles
she didn't throw politics into it - she just told two facts about history.
if she had told us something about the actual situation, she would've done exactly the thing that your're mocking about.
+momentsofpassion just so happens that the history was all bush's
Guess you have a problem being wrong... ;) She was justified. Bush created a war on information that is continued today by Trump. We didn't get such instances from Obama, who created transparency that wasn't present during Bush.
So, the message that we are often wrong is discounted by having offended your own political certainties? Irony is a beautiful thing.
Did this one 5-second mention ruin the whole talk? Really?
