CHAPTER 2 The Armchair Quarterback and the Impostor Finding the Sweet Spot of Confidence Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. when Ursula Mercz was admitted to the clinic, she complained of headaches, back pain, and dizziness severe enough that she could no longer work. Over the following month her condition deteriorated. She struggled to locate the glass of water she put next to her bed. She couldn’t find the door to her room. She walked directly into her bed frame. Ursula was a seamstress in her midfifties, and she hadn’t lost her dexterity: she was able to cut different shapes out of paper with scissors. She could easily point to her nose, mouth, arms, and legs, and had no difficulty describing her home and her pets. For an Austrian doctor named Gabriel Anton, she presented a curious case. When Anton put a red ribbon and scissors on the table in front of her, she couldn’t name them, even though “she confirmed, calmly and faithfully, that she could see the presented objects.” She was clearly having problems with language production, which she acknowledged, and with spatial orientation. Yet something else was wrong: Ursula could no longer tell the difference between light and dark. When Anton held up an object and asked her to describe it, she didn’t even try to look at it but instead reached out to touch it. Tests showed that her eyesight was severely impaired. Oddly, when Anton asked her about the deficit, she insisted she could see. Eventually, when she lost her vision altogether, she remained completely unaware of it. “It was now extremely astonishing,” Anton wrote, “that the patient did not notice her massive and later complete loss of her ability to see . . . she was mentally blind to her blindness.” It was the late 1800s, and Ursula wasn’t alone. A decade earlier a neuropathologist in Zurich had reported a case of a man who suffered an accident that left him blind but was unaware of it despite being “intellectually unimpaired.” Although he didn’t blink when a fist was placed in front of his face and couldn’t see the food on his plate, “he thought he was in a dark humid hole or cellar.” کانال خلاصه کتاب (https://t.me/luminous_bookclub) کانال موزیک (https://t.me/luminous_music) کانال مکالمات روزمره (https://t.me/foroughpapi) پیج اینستاگرام: Luminous__english Castbox channel: luminous english 📚هایلایت قسمت 20 کتاب Think Again ✅armchair: کسی که بدون داشتن تجربه از چیزی حرف میزنه ✅quarterback: پست حمله در فوتبال امریکایی ✅imposter: متقلب ✅sweet spot: نقطه مطلوب ✅ignorance: نادانی ✅beget:موجب شدن ✅admit: پذیرفتن ✅complain: شکایت کردن ✅diziness: سرگیجه ✅deteriorate: بدتر شدن ✅struggle to do sth: سخت بودن انجام کاری ✅locate: پیدا کردن ✅bed frame: پایه یا چاچوب تخت ✅seamstress: خیاط(زن) ✅midfifties: پنجاه و چند سال ✅dexterity: مهارت ✅scissors: قیچی ✅point to: اشاره کردن به ✅curious: کنجکاو، عجیب ✅faithfully: با اطمینان ✅acknowledge: واکنش دادن ✅spatial: فضایی ✅orientation: جهت یابی ✅eyesight: بینایی ✅severely: شدیدا ✅impaired: آسیب دیده ✅oddly: به طرز عجیبی ✅eventually: در نهایت ✅altogether: کاملا ✅astonishing: حیرت انگیز ✅massive: بسیار بزرگ یا زیاد ✅loss: فقدان ✅neuropathologist: پزشک اعصاب ✅decade: دهه ✅intellectually: از نظر ذهنی ✅unimpaired: سالم ✅blink: پلک زدن ✅humid: مرطوب ✅cellar: زیر زمین ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
