[Entrepreneuship colloquium] The Possibilities Toolbox: Surprising Revelations – Kimberly Wiefling

Date: Tue. August 26th, 2008, 4:15 pm-5:15 pm
Location: Rockefeller 301

In “The User Illusion” Tor Norretranders notes that there is a significant gulf between perception and reality. Consciousness has a bandwidth. We routinely ignore most of the information entering our senses, information that doesn’t fit our worldview. In this colloquium/workshop, whose full title is “The Possibilities Toolbox: Surprising Revelations About the Nature of Reality and How to Shape It”, we will examine the idea that “being sure” is not the same as “being right” and explore ways to expand possibilities. Also, pursuing possibilities sometimes requires that we fly in the face of conventional wisdom and challenge the CAVE people (Citizens Against Virtually Everything).
