Course Description

Overview

Explore the concept of embracing fallibility in this thought-provoking TED talk by "wrongologist" Kathryn Schulz. Delve into the psychology behind our aversion to being wrong and discover why acknowledging our mistakes can lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of the world. Learn about error blindness, the feeling of being right, and how our assumptions shape our perceptions. Examine the "coyote analogy" and its relevance to our daily lives, and consider how accepting our imperfections can foster a sense of wonder and curiosity. Challenge your preconceptions about correctness and gain valuable insights into the human experience of error and discovery.
