Mistakes Are A Necessary Byproduct Of Creativity

This simply makes sense.

“We don’t get things wrong because we are uninformed and lazy and stupid and evil. We get things wrong because we get things right. The more scientists understand about cognitive functioning, the more it becomes clear that our capacity to err is utterly inextricable from what makes the human brain so swift, adaptable, and intelligent.” via The bright side of wrong.

It aligns with a concept I first heard uttered by Margaret Wheatley in Leadership And The New Science; “Nature loves order, but gets there via chaos.” I believe this is an undeniable truth.

It makes me want to make more mistakes.
