Este es un temazo! Clave para tener un impacto positivo en la sociedad. Probar, iterar, ver que estabas equivocado, redirigir...
Justo os iba poner el artículo de Tim Harford hablando del artículo de Kelly que ponéis en la posdata poniendo en entredicho la historia (demasiado buena para ser cierta) de when prophecy fails.
Por cierto, ¿conocíais esta otra historia?
"The example of intellectual honor I find myself thinking about most often is a story related by Richard Dawkins from his years as a student in the zoology department at Oxford. At the time there was a major controversy in biology over a cellular structure called the Golgi apparatus - was it real or an illusion created by our observational methods?
One day, a young visiting scholar from the United States came to the department and gave a talk in which he presented new and compelling evidence that the Golgi apparatus was, in fact, real. Sitting in the audience of that talk was one of Oxford’s most respected zoologists, an elderly professor who was known for his position that the Golgi apparatus was illusory. So of course, throughout the talk, everyone was stealing glances at the professor, wondering: How’s he taking this? What’s he going to say?
At the end of the talk, the elderly Oxford professor rose from his seat, walked up to the front of the lecture hall, and reached out to shake hands with the visiting scholar, saying, 'My dear fellow, I wish to thank you. I have been wrong these fifteen years.' The lecture hall burst into applause.
Dawkins says: 'The memory of this incident still brings a lump to my throat.' It brings a lump to my throat too, every time I retell that story. That’s the kind of person I want to be - and that’s often enough to inspire me to choose scout mindset, even when the temptations of soldier mindset are strong"
[Creo que aparece en The Scout Mindset, de Julia Gaef]
El "Siempre se ha hecho así" es la primera barrera al cambio
Cuando realmente la visión correcta es "Siempre se ha cambiado cómo se ha hecho"
Lo que pasa es que tenemos una ventana de memoria muy limitada. Siempre no significa siempre. Siempre significa lo que yo he hecho mío, y a lo que estoy acostumbrado. Tu forma también fue un cambio para los anteriores, y le parecía imposible cambiar de su "siempre" a la tuya, nueva.
Así pasa con las fronteras de los países, con la tecnología, con todo
