I've been following David McRaney's blog, You're Not SoSmart, for a few years now. Any blog with the byline “a celebration of
self-delusion” is a good blog to read. Secondly, I really like his interest in exploring
and demythisizing common beliefs.
Even it he sets out to cure us of our false beliefs, he does not appear to be doing it out of a wish to rub our noses in our ignorance.
“I, David McRaney, am not a psychologist or an economist. I
am a journalist and fan writing about what those super-smart and hard-working
people are discovering on these topics. Sometimes, I get it wrong. I’m doing my
best to translate it all and make it fun, but If I’m wrong and you know it,
please let me know. These things can be edited and corrected. I welcome
assistance in clarifying the concepts.”
In this world where everyone seems to consider themselves infallible
experts, you got to like someone who is willing to be corrected.
