2 Quotes by Henning Beck

As bad as mistakes can be, we do not seem to possess an in-built fear of them. This implies that the brain does not punish itself for an error. It is only when we are socialized that a mistake is something bad that we develop a fear of doing something wrong. This is exactly what our adaptable brain doesn't need. Because whoever is afraid of making a bad decision will never find the right one. Or, what's worse, will be too afraid to ever act at all.

The brain doesn’t learn information by rote and then save it somewhere. Instead, it organises knowledge.
