Wrongolgy

Back in August last year, I posted on Kathryn Schultz's Infectious Talks interview. Here she is with a recent presentation at PopTech, talking about faulty recollections, fallibility of memory, how people work out if their wrong, how they react to knowing their wrong, being wrong and not yet realising it, and flash-bulb memory:

The Wrong Stuff. . .

Paul Kedrosky (of Infectious Greed fame) this week interviewed Kathryn Schulz (of The Wrong Stuff) as part of his Infectious Talk series over at the Kauffman Foundation:

In this episode, Paul talks with journalist and author Kathryn Schulz. They discussed Schulz's recently released book, "Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error." They talked about Schulz's premise that we're all wrong, all the time, and how the inability of politicians and business leaders to admit to mistakes can be devastating. On the other hand, the ability to learn from our mistakes can have personal benefits.
