:
#rsaschulz

5:36 pm commutiny In Being Wrong, Kathryn Schulz explores why we find it so gratifying to be right
:
and so maddening to be mistaken, #rsaschulz

5:38 pm commutiny @RRSphilosopher wonders if the ubiquity of error means that we live in a state of
:
permanent uncertainty and incompleteness #rsaschulz

5:40 pm commutiny Response: We can't have the capacity to be curious and creative without a degree
:
of delusion and uncertainty (wrongness #rsaschulz
)

5:41 pm benjaminm: I like the idea that science, not just art, celebrates error. Go science! @

5:41 pm commutiny Provocative q - is Science a less mature discipline in its pursuit of perfection than

the Arts, which embrace failure? #rsaschulz

:
other people's error http://ow.ly/2OdRF #rsaschulz

5:46 pm commutiny Q: What's the difference between socially constructed right & wrong vs how we

define it internally? #rsaschulz

5:48 pm commutiny Response: Right & wrong are not simple truths - often rightness is simply the

prevailing view #rsaschulz

5:49 pm commutiny Q: Please tell us more about the 'joy of being wrong' & also the fear of admitting

failure? #rsaschulz

5:53 pm commutiny From the audience "By publicly declaring #failure you demonstrate a commitment
:
to getting things right" #rsaschulz

5:54 pm commutiny Usually an admittance of being wrong is immediately followed by a big BUT. We
:
like to explain away our mistakes #rsaschulz

5:55 pm commutiny If you can say "I was wrong" and leave it at that, you get some interesting &
:
gratifying responses < I agree with @wrongologist #rsaschulz

5:57 pm commutiny Admitting being wrong can result in a high price to pay (esp in politics) #rsaschulz
:

5:57 pm commutiny Q: How do we deal with the blame culture? #rsaschulz

5:57 pm benjaminm: Finally, someone mentions that being wrong is essential to learning! #rsaschulz



5:59 pm commutiny A: Politics has the most disfunctional culture around admitting mistakes and

6:01 pm commutiny A: The tendency to assign blame for mistake is deeply misguided, though we
:
should accept responsibility for our own #rsaschulz

6:03 pm commutiny Any impulse to begin analysis of mistakes by assigning blame to people
:
underminesthe ability to learn & change #rsaschulz

6:03 pm DanieVermeulen RT @benjaminmFinally, someone mentions that being wrong is essential to
:
