"Once you start to think of mistakes as deterministic rather than random, as caused by "bugs" (incorrect understanding or incorrect procedures) rather than random inaccuracy, a curious thing happens.
oh wow this is an incredibly illuminating frame - thanks for sharing!
quotes that stuck with me:
“Often, I think mistakes are more like bugs than errors. My clinkers weren't random; they were in specific places, because I had sub-optimal fingerings in those places.”
“"Lazy" and "stupid" and "bad at ____" are terms about the map, not the territory. Once you understand what causes mistakes, those terms are far less informative than actually describing what's happening. “
I wouldn't be lying if i say this is one of the best essays I've read on this app. I loved how you connected a meme with an entire life philosophy and i also enjoyed the way you tied it with the movie “The Prestige”. Truly a great read!!
