On being wrong: Kathryn Schulz on TED.com
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.(Recorded at TED2011, March 2011, in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 17:57)

She seems annoyingly right about being wrong.
Like many others I’ve spent my whole life wondering if anything I do/think is right. Maybe it’s only the clever ones that have the problem of always being right? Maybe that’s why they succeed?
Anyway, Ms Schultz perpetuates the myth that Iraq was about WMD and democracy – I’m afraid she’s wrong about that!

I REALLY enjoy the TED videos and I wanted you to know how much ;-D
You have been given the Versatile Blogger Award. See the original post here http://fodder4thinking.wordpress.com/?s=VBA
There are only three requirements:
1. Thank the giver of this reward (not necessary really).
2. Post seven random facts about yourself.
3. Nominate others for this reward.NOTE: The original reward mentions nominating 15 recipients.
But the one I myself received came from RoughWaterJohn the Pirate
He and I agree that it is more important to reward those justly deserving,
rather than to merely meet a quota.But ultimately, it’s your decision, and your reward.
Congratulations! Keep writing! Keep sharing!

The Emperor has beautfiul clothes.
And KS has little to say other than what Bhuddism, depth psychology and ‘normal’ awareness already tells us. -
