My slides from Failcon 2012

Later today I’m presenting a talk at Failcon 2012 on The history of failing to learn from failure. You can grab the slides here.  There’s a livestream here (in theory) and I speak at 12:00 PST.

Summary: We stink at learning from history, our own or from other’s.

Fallacy: single point of failure
Complex truth loses to Simple Lies
Our own egos get in our way
We fight the last war
