The Delicious Thrill of Being Right
Have you ever felt that intoxicating rush when you're absolutely, unquestionably right? Whether predicting a plot twist, winning an argument with irrefutable evidence, or solving a problem that stumped everyone else-it's a feeling we chase constantly. Yet this fixation on rightness might be our greatest blind spot. Being wrong isn't just inevitable; it's fundamental to how we learn, grow, and connect with others. What makes this exploration so compelling is how it touches something universal-our profound discomfort with acknowledging our mistakes, despite their essential role in human development. The most fascinating paradox about being wrong is that we can't experience it directly. When we're wrong about something, we don't know it-because if we knew we were wrong, we'd change our minds and no longer be wrong! This "error-blindness" explains why we're constantly surprised by our mistakes. From our perspective, errors appear as unpredictable as natural disasters-what psychologists call "Mental Acts of God." We don't even maintain a mental category called "Mistakes I Have Made." Our errors get filed under other headings-embarrassing moments, lessons learned, old beliefs-making them difficult to recognize as stories about wrongness.
