Ted Lasso Was Dead Wrong

Ted Lasso famously says, “Be like a goldfish.” His point is that goldfish have short memories. So they don't dwell on mistakes or bad experiences. It's actually pretty good advice for humans.

But being a goldfish isn't all it's cracked up to be.

They may have the advantage of forgetting things quickly, but they also have a rather unfortunate habit of ending up flushed down the toilet.

So maybe we shouldn't be so eager to be like a goldfish.

Short memory? Great. Toilet death? Not so great.
