to me about the Dreyfus Affair
zaista zanimljiva o aferi Dreyfus
were so convinced
časnici bili toliko uvjereni
that they were setting him up,
da su mu smjestili,
that's what happened.
da se to dogodilo

his story is not over.
njegova priča još nije gotova.
in the French Army,
časnik u francuskoj vojsci.
he assumed Dreyfus was guilty.
je da je Dreyfus kriv.
he was at least casually anti-Semitic.
bio je barem ležerno antisemitist.
Picquart began to suspect:
Picquart je počeo sumnjati:
u vezi s Dreyfusom?"
he had discovered evidence
jest da je pronašao dokaze
that another officer in the army
matched the memo,
to his superiors,
svojim nadređenima,
they either didn't care
oni ili nisu marili
to explain his findings,
da bi objasnili njegova saznanja,
Picquart, is that there's another spy
jest da postoji još jedan špijun
Dreyfus's handwriting,
after Dreyfus left.
nakon što je Dreyfus otišao.
to get Dreyfus exonerated.

he himself was in prison
can't really be the hero of this story
ne može stvarno biti junak ove priče
and that's bad, which I agree with.
i to je loše, s čime se slažem.
the fact that Picquart was anti-Semitic
da je Picquart bio antisemitist
čini zadivljujućima
the same reasons to be biased
jednake razloge da bude pristran
and uphold it trumped all of that.
i podrži je prevladala sve to
for what I call "scout mindset."
nazivam "izviđačkim načinom razmišljanja".

ne pobijedi niti izgubi,
or convenient or pleasant.
ili povoljno ili ugodno.
I'm personally passionate about.
razmišljanja sam vrlo strastvena.
examining and trying to figure out
proučavajući i pokušavajući shvatiti što
and biases and motivations
predrasude, pristranost i motive
and the evidence
is rooted in emotions

plemenske pripadnosti, i
they feel pleasure
when they encounter something
zainteresirani kada naiđu na nešto
različite vrijednosti.
they think it's virtuous

that someone who changes his mind
netko tko promijeni mišljenje
they are about any particular topic.
ili u krivu u vezi s određenom temom.
that capital punishment works.
that it doesn't, they can say,
da to nije tako, mogu reći,
Doesn't mean I'm bad or stupid."
To ne znači da sam loš ili glup."
is what researchers have found --
što su istraživači otkrili --
to leave you with about those traits
prenijeti o ovim osobinama
not about how smart you are
na to koliko ste pametni
very much with IQ at all.
u korelaciji s IQ-om.
coming back to, by Saint-Exupéry.
kojem se stalno vraćam.

žude za velikim i beskrajnim morem."
our judgment as individuals
naše rasuđivanje kao pojedinaca
is not more instruction in logic
nije poduka o logici
vjerojatnosti ili ekonomiji,
are quite valuable.
to use those principles well
da dobro iskoristimo ta načela je
instead of ashamed
ponosnima umjesto posramljenima
have been wrong about something.
u vezi s nečime bili u krivu.
instead of defensive
zainteresirani umjesto obrambeni
that contradicts our beliefs.
koje su suprotne našim uvjerenjima.
to leave you with is:
as clearly as you possibly can?
svijet što je jasnije moguće?
