Kathryn Schulz is an expert on being wrong. The journalist and author of “Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margins of Error,” says we make mistakes all the time. The trouble is that often times being wrong feels like being right. What’s more, we’re usually wrong about what it even means to make mistakes—and how it can lead to better ideas.

Very good presentation. Just a comment on the ranking meter. It locks with the release of the mouse button, which doesn’t allow reranking or ability to adjust an errant release of the button. A click in the middle becomes a locked vote rather than controlling the cursor. Otherwise, liking the site and presentations.
Thanks for the comment, B. This is useful feedback! We’ll get started on a mechanism to address the issue. Regards, Louis

I thought the approval meter was a volume control and turned it all the way up, as I am a bit deaf in one ear. So I gave it the highest approval before even watching it!
The slider said I voted for not liking the presentation. I enjoyed it very much. Don’t trust the readings on that slider! Now is that meter a form of "error blindness"? Is someone going to fix it? Or is this just a test?
A great reminder of the importance of checks and balances, social engagement,and free discourse.
For someone talking about failure she is full of herself… could she have done this talk in 5 min?
