the present tense is where we live
we get stuck in the feeling of being right
how does it feel to be wrong: thumbs down, terrible, etc
how does it feel to realize you're wrong....
just being wrong - doesn't feel like anything
before we realize we're wrong, we're like the coyote off the cliff, before he falls

it does feel like something to be wrong - it feels like being right

error blindness
we learn to succeed in life is to never make mistakes
we're perfectionists who freak out if we think we got something wrong

this rightness keeps us from causing mistakes when we need to and helps us treat each other terribly
we want everyone to think like us

the miracle of your mind isn't that you can see the world as it is, it's that you can see it as it isn't

our capacity to screw up isn't a defect, it's totally fundamental to who we are
when it comes to our stories, we love being wrong,
because our lives are like that

if you want to rediscover wonder, you need to step outside of that tiny terrified space of wrongness...
