The only way to maximize group creativity—to make the whole more than the sum of its parts—is to encourage a candid discussion of mistakes.

We can only get it right when we talk about what we got wrong. Jonah Lehrer
mistake believe love-you
One of the overriding points of Liberal Fascism is that all of the totalitarian "isms" of the left commit the fallacy of the category error. They all want the state to be something it cannot be.

Conservatives occasionally make this mistake, libertarians never do, liberals almost always do. Jonah Goldberg

mistake ideas mind
It is a great mistake to regard a certain object as pleasurable in itself and to store the idea of it in the mind in hope of fulfilling a want by its actual presence in the future.

mistake reflection men
The reflection, the verisimilitude, of life that shines in the fleshly cells from the soul source is the only cause of man's attachment to his body; obviously he would not pay solicitous homage to a clod of clay.

Paramahansa Yogananda

mistake men years
I made a very bad mistake; I miscounted these scraps of information on the record as 92, and in continual homage to this man who had been so influential to me, I began creating or constructing my own films on this so-called "magic" number of 92 ... but when I eventually made a film about John Cage and met him, I explained this to him, and he found it very amusing because there are only 90 stories on the two sides of the record, and I'd based three years of my filmic career on this mathematical error! Peter Greenaway
