If that belief turns out to be mistaken, it will make a difference.

But the nice thing about visual illusion is we can easily demonstrate mistakes.

It does feel like something to be wrong it feels like being right.

And again, I think this is kind of false.

Because in visual illusions we can easily demonstrate the mistakes in cognitive illusion it's much, much harder to demonstrate to people the mistakes.

Now you may reason that we have one to perceive the world or to think, and that's completely wrong.

There's a false sense of security.

That was a nice thing to get.

And I always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were.

It seems to me that we re all pointed in the wrong direction.

Okay, so there is a feedback signal that vetoes the signal of the mirror neuron preventing you from consciously experiencing that touch.

So I want to show you some cognitive illusions, or decision making illusions, in the same way.

One reason, actually, has to do with a feeling of being wrong.

Or the other way, and that's a false sense of insecurity.

As a matter of fact, I think a lot of my design ideas come from mistakes and tricks of the eye.

We find this misguided action perplexing.

We have many intuitions in our life, and the point is that many of these intuitions are wrong.

But just being wrong doesn't feel like anything.

If you don't understand the risks, you don't understand the costs, you're likely to get the trade off wrong, and your feeling doesn't match reality.

When Leon Rozenblit and I uncovered the illusion and its specificity, we ran an extensive series of studies exploring why explanatory understanding is so vulnerable to a false sense of knowing. All of the factors that we identified are less influential for facts, procedures, and narratives.

I still go through that in terms of the stresses and pressure of the job but management just feels right.

So, if you think about all of your intuitions, it's very hard to believe that your intuition is wrong.

And what we see is that people tend to keep making errors exactly the same way, over and over again.

You feel good when you do something right, you feel bad when you do something wrong.

What if that Copernican insignificance was actually all wrong?

Cochrane understood that uncertainty, that fallibility, that being challenged, they hurt.

So it probably even feels good for the insect, as well as looking good.

How can the nervous system misinterpret an innocent sensation like the touch of a hand and turn it into the malevolent sensation of the touch of the flame?

But he made me feel I was telling him a fabulous story.

I always felt good with Dick Feynman.

And then finally, anything that's an error, or a typo, or a stupid mistake, or a line that's in the wrong place.

They weren't mistakes I saw everything that I would have changed and I was embarrassed by it.

There are things that are intrinsically wrong like lying is wrong, like torturing innocent children is wrong.

And we feel like some of that difficulty was because of this false advertisement around parenting.

They've slept with the wrong person. They've taken the wrong substance.

There are two kinds of errors people make when trying to decide what the right thing is to do, and those are errors in estimating the odds that they're going to succeed, and errors in estimating the value of their own success.

Minor proof reading changes have also been made to correct grammar, spelling and punctuation in the texts.

This tells us that that insignificance paradigm that we somehow got to learn from the Copernican principle, it's all wrong.

Bingo. You'd think you're in air, until a fish swims by.

Mistakes and lying can be worked through, but I cannot stand a complete lack of humour.

Realizing you're wrong can feel like all of that and a lot of other things, right?

You guys are answering the question How does it feel to realize you're wrong?

It's a good question. How do you feel about how you spend your time each day?

You know, we're already wrong, we're already in trouble, but we feel like we're on solid ground.

The blue whale, the biggest creature that exists on the planet that is wrong, completely wrong.
