A quotation from Gracián, Baltasar

The greatest of sages can commit one mistake, but not two; he may fall into error, but he doesn’t lie down and make his home there.

[En un descuido puede caer el mayor sabio, pero en dos no; y de paso, que no de asiento.]

Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 214 (1647) [tr. Maurer (1992)]

A quotation from Hogan, Robert

There’s a reason narcissists don’t learn from mistakes and that’s because they never get past the first step, which is admitting that they made one.

Robert Hogan (b. 1937) American psychologist
In Jeffrey Kluger, The Narcissist Next Door, ch. 6 (2014)

[2022-08- 5 13:55:08] * Digit remembers when being awake was shorthand for having become aware of the grand corporate political nepotistic revolving-door rigged-game crookedness, before those crooks orwellianised it, spun it, not only to redirect attention away from themselves to protect themselves, but to get those who would turn on them, to turn on each other instead, and so now wonders what to call being aware of this... "awake woke awakening"?

ps, is woke a sort of past tense of awake, so it's asleep again? ;]

social learning vs systematic stupidity

  • In an ideal world, people learn from each other
  • each others mistakes each others successes
  • in an ideal world a system would foster social learning (the “natural” way how humans learn? by example (hopefully drawing the right conclusions) & from each other))
  • a system that incentivises stupidity & mistakes is a stupid system
  • (example the car industry knows people buy cars (unfortunately) mostly by emotions (big 2t SUV that make people feel important) and if the parts are designed to break after 3 years (they hope) to make 25% extra) – if the incentive here is maximum profit – the car companies did everything right – even if they in reality created a complete catastrophe for everyone
