You send along this joke to a friend, you think it's so funny.
If you're face to face and that joke bombs or the person is offended, you can see it.
But what happens when you type it in a text and you can't see their response and they're just offended?
They can't believe you said something like that and they walk away angry.
So you're right that in social life,
if we are actually interacting with each other face to face in a high fidelity interaction, we can learn from our mistakes, but a lot of social life doesn't quite look like that.
There's one other thing that doesn't always correct itself either.
And those are the inferences that we can sometimes make from these mistakes.
So if I'm teaching you a math problem, because I know the answer, I think it's so easy.
Mike, I see you're having a hard time with it.
What I don't realize is that it's not really easy to anybody who doesn't know the answer.
And I might think you're not so good at math when in fact you are quite good.
And even if you figure it out in the end, I'm still left with that initial inference that I made that you just don't seem to be very good at math.
And that could be a mistake.
even our inferences don't get corrected.
Might not have been in that case, but it can be in daily life.
We can make mistaken inferences that we don't correct.
Consider an experiment that we did between married couples.
These are people how to know each other.
They've been with each other on average in this experiment for 10 years.
