And now I am thankful for that fact.
So like Tom says, I hope I also remain "half-naive" about a whole lot of stuff....the important thing is to have conversations about ideas, and have wonderful people like you out there force me to re-look and examine my assumptions and biases.
Thankfully I am not an expert !
P.S. Here is the link to the New Yorker article and the best quote:
The experts’ trouble in Tetlock’s study is exactly the trouble that all human beings have: we fall in love with our hunches, and we really, really hate to be wrong.
let me put a twist to this:
ReplyDeleteif we presume that prof tetlock [Tetlock is a psychologist—he teaches at Berkeley—and his conclusions are based on a long-term study that he began twenty years ago] can be called an expert in the field of psychology, how do we interpret his (expert) analysis about experts?
I blog therefore I am...what? An expert? No. A seeker of wisdom? Yes.

I found your blog in searching for a potential blog to exchange links. I find your blog very interesting and of high professional standard. This is exactly what I'm looking for in a blog. My blog is about auditing by a CPA. I was hoping that you would be interested in exchanging links. I have already provided a link to your site and I look forward to seeing if you do the same in return.
