In Hindsight
In retrospect all of us are experts. And it’s always that way.
With everything in the past, we connect the dots, edit what we remember (and what we don’t) and tell a story that’s neat and coherent. We can compress all of our life’s history in 200 pages or so, with accurate reasoning for everything that happened.
This is called Hindsight Bias. I read about it in “Art Of Thinking Clearly”
Hindsight bias changes how we remember or recall information. We only remember stuff that confirms with our world view.
One way I’m trying to overcome this is by journalling. Document why I take a certain decision, what is my emotion like, what am I feeling et al.
Over to you!
