Just because I blog about a lot of stuff relating to HR, Recruitment, Management, Innovation it does NOT make me an expert.
And now I am thankful for that fact.
So like Tom says, I hope I also remain "half-naive" about a whole lot of stuff....the important thing is to have conversations about ideas, and have wonderful people like you out there force me to re-look and examine my assumptions and biases.
Thankfully I am not an expert !
P.S. Here is the link to the New Yorker article and the best quote:
The experts’ trouble in Tetlock’s study is exactly the trouble that all human beings have: we fall in love with our hunches, and we really, really hate to be wrong.

let me put a twist to this:
ReplyDeleteif we presume that prof tetlock [Tetlock is a psychologist—he teaches at Berkeley—and his conclusions are based on a long-term study that he began twenty years ago] can be called an expert in the field of psychology, how do we interpret his (expert) analysis about experts?
For me an expert is not someone who knows much and everything but someone who is interested in knowing and experimenting with that idea!
ReplyDeletebtw i forgot to say expert blogger
ReplyDelete:p
I blog therefore I am...what? An expert? No. A seeker of wisdom? Yes.

I found your blog in searching for a potential blog to exchange links. I find your blog very interesting and of high professional standard. This is exactly what I'm looking for in a blog. My blog is about auditing by a CPA. I was hoping that you would be interested in exchanging links. I have already provided a link to your site and I look forward to seeing if you do the same in return.
