Do you thinks that error promotes human learning or is it just a waste of time and energy?

I look at every 'mistake as not a mistake, but a learning experience. But the world as a whole, no I don't think many learn. If we did, why do we continue to go to war?

We continue to make the mistakes of the past, i. E the Great Depression and the Depression of the 21st Century, right now.

I think Einstein said something to the effect that failure was just learning one more way that something cannot be accomplished. He was intent on point out that it is something we should expect to see on the road to achievement and from it we learn to change, adapt, and modify ourselves and other things in ways that eventually overcome the obstacles and finally achieve success. So in that sense, failure can be good.

Errors are more classified as something we did not intend to do...like the copilot shutting down the left engine when the right one is on fire. Errors are a function of our distraction or lack of attention to detail. They do waste our resources and can endanger our lives.

We can accept failure and move on, but errors, need to disappear from our world. WB.

We all learn from our mistakes. Mistakes are never a waste of time and energy, like all things, they just are, and then they are gone to be replaced by new thoughts and events.

You know it is very important for a man to grow up and strong.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
