About Being Wrong

About Being Wrong

Wherein polite gentlemen at gaming conventions explain how people didn't have their variables separate enough with regard to the Dunning-Kruger effect. Lars thinks Andreas has drawn the wrong learnings from this.

It's a good idea to be humble … but strong opinions loosely held may not be the perfect thing, either?

Also discussed is the curse of the expert - teaching across a large gap in experience, and how to actually go about changing systems and having better discussions. Have you considered being god's advocate instead of the devil's when in a discussion?

Quotes

I attempted to make friends
Hard to know what you don't know
If you don't have your variables separate
They fumbled on the input data
I think you have the wrong takeaway
The curse of the expert
Have you looked at presidents recently?
Exhaust the universe
The halting problem of the universe
Sons of pedagogy
I feel comfortable, but I don't feel certain
A really badass judo throw
I can ignore many things
A multitude of parts
Bit by bit, you shift the system
Taking small stands
Very happy to be wrong
God's advocate
Random ideas, loosely shared
A good crowd for this question
