Surely we need to work past this first?

Humanity has truly come quite far. Our quality of lives, education, medicine, technology are all constantly being updated and yet still there is something we are missing. We have tried to improve our fellow man from afar. Observing and implementing, taking statistics and writing reports. But now we must turn to our neighbour and really look, really listen. I will be pilfering James Cameron's Avatar and TED Talks to illustrate... In Avatar there is a real deep emotional link between the Nav'i, their greeting 'I see you' suggests an outlook on interpersonal relationships superior to our own.

How can we begin to move forward however when our minds wander off and do things all of their own? Like living in a permanent state of rightness. Where being wrong is the worst thing in the world. Kathryn Schulz had some brilliant things to say on this subject at TED2011

Maybe if we can start to look at the way we view the world, take some control and modify these auto perceptions- we may find a more innovative and content society at the end of it. Just a theory.
