[ Memory ]

This one is from my friend and colleague, Ted Metcalfe (who is not on LinkedIn).  Ted has a significant influence on my thinking around engineering, judgement, ethics, and how we learn from (infrastructure/engineering) failure.

He made this astute observation, which needs more exploration, about the role of memory:

“Even after reading many books about how we think and make decisions, I still wonder why people make mistakes, but increasingly it seems that memory plays a big part. 

Some people are better than others at choosing, storing, and recalling previous experiences; allowing them to demonstrate better mindfulness and judgement under pressure.”
