Coming Up – Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error
Club Questions: 1) How relatable did you find this quote: "When you are simply going about your business in a state you will later decide was delusional, you have no idea of it whatsoever. You are like the coyote in the roadrunner cartoons, after he has gone off the cliff but before he has looked down." 2) on page 40 the author suggests to "see erring as vital as any process of invention and creation." Now that we've finished the book do you agree? 3) on page 124, the author points out that the paradox of inductive reasoning is "although small amounts of evidence are sufficient to make us draw conclusions, they are seldom sufficient to make us revise them." Have you experienced this personally or seen it in people you know? 4) does age change our relationship to being wrong? Can you think of a time you were less tolerable to the concept, it a time in your life when you were more accepting? 5) was there anything in the book, or maybe left out of the book, that the author did not go into deep enough?
