Mythbusting: The Things You Think Are True That Aren’t Finding Good with Daniel Wordsworth

    • Society & Culture

Drawing on his experience, Daniel challenges the the truth around 5 often believed ideas and aphorisms. From “There’s no such thing as a dumb idea”, to the belief that complexity equals intelligence and that confidence is a good thing.
“Complexity doesn’t make you smart…. Complexity is typically lazy… Yet, be careful about thinking things are simple… All the truly worthwhile things are complex… the universe, religion, human consciousness, identity, relationship, poverty, these are all very complex things and if you look at these issues and think they’re simple, it’s because you haven’t actually thought about them.”
