Cognition requires going beyond the information given, to make bets and therefore to risk errors.
⇛ Gerd Gigerenzer (Psychologist)

Copy Quote Text

Great thinkers often learn, to their surprise, that new ideas are less than welcome.

Gerd Gigerenzer Psychologist

I focus on the most important form of innumeracy in everyday life, statistical innumeracy--that is, the inability to reason about uncertainties and risk.

Gerd Gigerenzer Psychologist

At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will find at least two human errors, one of which is the error of blaming it on the computer.

Tom Gilb Engineer

Trusting people to be creative and constructive when given more freedom does not imply an overly optimistic belief in the perfectibility of human nature. It is, rather, belief that the inevitable errors and sins of the human condition are far better overcome by individuals working together in an environment of trust and freedom and mutual respect than by individuals working under a multitude of rules, regulations, and restraints imposed upon them by another group of imperfect individuals.

Peter Senge Author

My reason taught me that I could not have made one of my own qualities - they were forced upon me by Nature; that my language, religion, and habits were forced upon me by Society; and that I was entirely the child of Nature and Society; that Nature gave the qualities and Society directed them. Thus was I forced, through seeing the error of their foundation, to abandon all belief in every religion which had been taught by man.

Robert Owen Social Activist

The recognition that no knowledge can be complete, no metaphor entire, is itself humanizing. It counteracts fanaticism. It grants even to adversaries the possibility of partial truth, and to oneself the possibility of error.

Alvin Toffler Writer

I usually get involved in the interviews about the animators and the filmmaking in general, because I had a chance. I got to know, not only Marc Davis, but Frank Thomas, Artie Johnson, Ward Kimball, all these great animators, and just ask them all these questions about how they did certain things, what their trials and errors were, the ups and downs.

Andreas Deja Animator

The majority of mankind would seem to be beguiled into error by pleasure, which, not being really a good, yet seems to be so. So that they indiscriminately choose as good whatsoever gives them pleasure, while they avoid all pain alike as evil.

Aristotle Philosopher

We will gradually become indifferent to what goes on in the minds of other people when we acquire a knowledge of the superficial nature of their thoughts, the narrowness of their views and of the number of their errors. Whoever attaches a lot of value to the opinions of others pays them too much honor.

Arthur Schopenhauer Philosopher

I'm interested in the truth, and unauthorized biographies are not. Yes, I would like to correct those errors someday.

Barbra Streisand Singer-Songwriter
