Pascal Wallisch

Your ancestors who were like, I need more information, they want to see the full tiger before I make any moves, well, they're eaten by the tiger, because by the time you see the tiger, it's too late.

And what's the cost of being wrong?

Well, you got a little scared, but that's okay.

You know, we can live with that, literally.

Maybe a little scared, we have an anxiety disorder.

It's not great, but you are alive.

Whereas if you're wrong in the other way, you're dead, and you cannot reproduce.

Well, overall, they're very reliable.

But you have to understand that they're reliable because of many redundant systems.

So, for instance, auditory and visual work together, and the other senses too, and there's a lot of information and all that.

But different people...

bring different things to the table.

So I think the real lesson is we need to be more modest and more humble about how sure you are about what you think is true.

What I mean by that is you see the things how you see them, right?

So you saw it as white and gold or as black and blue.

There's nothing else to it.

You believe it is black and blue because that's how you saw it.

But the reality is your brain doesn't tell you, oh, we just guessed here.

So it makes no distinction between that.

Correct.
