Barry Schwartz: Our loss of wisdom (script)
Summary
There are rules that protect us against the worst situation and incentives thaat are thought of important to move people. In fact, the rules and incentives just temporarily make things better. In the long run, they create a downward spiral. Relying on them excessively that unconsciously deprives us the opportunity to learn from improvisation and even our wisdom to fight or think.
Additionally, the situation that we follow the rules makes us ordinary. It loses our gifts but incentives also lead us to worse. It changes our thought that we have the moral skill to do the right thing and we think that we have responsibilities to do our work. We are changed and we try getting more only incentives.
We should know these situations and get the moral skill again. We have to learn more practical wisdom. A wise person already knows that it's necessary for our life to make the exception to every rule and to have to learn how to care for people from lots of experiences. Although there will be failure, it's also important to learn from our failures. Celebrate moral exemplars and moral heroes. Be proud that you have the moral skills. And then, celebrate someone who teaches you knowledge also. All of us need to learn to respect others and ourselves. This is the principal objective that it's most important for us to respect learning.
