Last month Kathryn Schulz delivered an outstanding TED talk on the idea of “Being Wrong.” Early in her talk she askes her audience what it feels like to be wrong.

The audience responds with. “awful”, thumbs-down, embarrassing, etc.

To which Schulz responds, “great answers, but those are answers to a different question… those are answers to the question, ‘what does it feel like when you discover you’re wrong.'” She goes on to say that the way it feels it actually feels when we are wrong (but we haven’t realized it yet), we feel right.

This is worth watching and thinking about.

Peace, dwight
