Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts that our brains use to make sense of the world around us. While they can be helpful in some situations, they can also lead us to make flawed judgments and decisions.
You may go through your entire life or well into adulthood completely unaware that you are carrying around these thinking errors and mental shortcuts that influence your day-to-day thinking.
You can’t turn them off or delete them from your brain, but being one of the few people that can notice when they arise in your mind and knowing situations they are likely to act upon your decision making is one of the first steps to becoming a more thoughtful and rational thinker.
This two part series is mainly inspired by the works of Nobel Prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman and his amazing book “Thinking Fast and Slow”.

Confirmation bias is the most dangerous one in my opinion because you can't make other people see they are under such bias. They might treat you as if you were on the other side of the discussion and push you away, being even more stuck on their bubble. Great video!

[@clindseth]

Yes, exactly. This is one of the main reasons Americans have begun hating other Americans. "Anyone who disagrees with my political beliefs must be evil, so I won't listen to their evil lies." It's basically the same mental process exploited by cult leaders to keep their adherents trapped. Politicians exploit this to pander to their bases; "The Republicans want to re-institute slavery and make women second-class citizens!" "The Democrats want to outlaw white men and diesel, and make America a third-world country!" "We must reach our fundraising goal by midnight, or America will descend into chaos and death!" Meanwhile, back in DC, the fat cats get rich off insider trading, granting contracts to cousins, and selling DOD secrets to China and Russia. And every single bill that is passed with bi-partisan support is "For the children/poor/oppressed minorities/working class/etc." Here at home, we pay almost zero attention to state, county, city, or school board elections, and wonder why the roads never get fixed, and why they hired a sex offender to be the new gym teacher.

[@ABeardedDad]

No. confirmation bias is so dangerous, because it's self correcting. We instinctively acuse others of it, before we look at ourselves. It's so dangerous because it's so difficult to confront our own confirmation bias.

[@mzhshohag]

Totally agreed, And also this Confirmation Bias lead us to depend on other, and we Lose our belief to us, Self dependents begin to Gone,,,. Note,:Weuse anchors in our daily life, Like i just used some capital letters,Doesn't matter if it is grammatically wrong..

[@2411Stuart]

@tricket2701 THEY (Right Wingers/Authoritarians) don't want the history of SLAVERY taught anywhere. They hate the truth being told about them and what they represent. To enslave someone is to enslave the "HUMAN RACE" upon itself. In other words, they will justify enslaving whoever it is they want! ❤️🙏 That's why Critical Race Theory is not to be taught. IT IS ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE! 😮. NOT PEOPLE OF COLOR. 😕

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". All right wing memes are strawmen. Then they beg the question In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. And when that fails they will make an appeal to populism, which is the basis of Authoritarian Communism argumentum ad populum (plural argumenta ad populum) (rhetoric) A fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges that “if many believe so, it is so”. Or cry "Fake News" Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, appeal to common sense, or the divine fallacy, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine. The second most common strategy is to gaslight. Gaslighting describes the systematic pattern of abuse by which the abuser manipulates factual information to give the victim the impression that they cannot trust their own senses. They may repeatedly focus on their own feelings in order to make the victim feel guilty for hurting them. Psychologists recognise this as being part of the grooming process seen so often in cases of Child Sexual Exploitation. Strange how every right wing influencer, shitposter, and troll use the same populist rhetoric used by sexual predators to confound their victims, Isn't that just *so weird* The last ditch effort is to Poison the Well... which is a cocktail of the fallacies listed above. Designed to leave the opponent stumped as to which claim to unpack and address, by which time the agent provocateur has moved onto a different talking point or personal attack. That's because Reich Whingers are Bullshivics; Bolshevik, bull, civic-minded, demagogue), a person who gains political power by appealing to individuals feeling's instincts, & prejudices in a fashion that is considered manipulative & myopic; an individual who incessantly reiterates equivalent petty issues, until these are generally taken seriously _There are citizens with valid complaints & issues, but invariably the meeting will have to deal with some Bullshivic & his personal gripe of "supreme importance". America is a People's Democratic Republic with a Constitutional document, just like China, Iran, N Korea and the USSR. Patriotism and Communism are identical phenom, where the Party demands total loyalty, above even truth. "Claim everything, deny everything, explain nothing". Prescott Bush "Deny, Disinform, deflect." Roger Stone "Accuse your enemy of that which you are guilty of" Saul Alinksy "Blame the Victim" Protocol 23 "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984 The Reich Whinge are America's Authoritarian Communist Party "Deflect and distract, never give in, never admit fault, lie and attack, lie and attack, publicity no matter what, win no matter what" Roy Cohn Once you understand these bad faith strategies their nonsense becomes easy to rebuff

- The concept of cognitive dissonance refers to the discomfort and mental stress that arises when two held beliefs conflict with one another. - The Spotlight Effect is the phenomenon in which people tend to overestimate how much others are observing and judging them. - The Anchoring Effect is the tendency to use a starting point or anchor when making guesses or decisions. - Sour Grapes is a term used to describe the phenomenon of reinterpreting a situation retrospectively, creating a new belief that is in conflict with the first belief. - The thinking errors and mental shortcuts in human mind that are hardwired can be noticed and controlled by becoming a more thoughtful and rational thinker. - People tend to choose tails in coin flips even though heads is equally likely, due to the belief in a balancing force in the universe. - The gambler's fallacy, where people believe that a streak of outcomes is due to a balancing force rather than chance, is prevalent in gambling and other decision-making contexts. - Research has shown that the gambler's fallacy can also occur in non-gambling contexts, such as asylum judging and loan approvals. - The contrast effect, where people perceive things differently based on their context or comparison, can influence purchasing decisions. - Confirmation bias, where people actively seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs and ignore information that contradicts them, can lead to narrow perspectives and echo chambers.

Here is an outline of this amazing video: Intro - Our thoughts and decisions are often guided by unseen cognitive biases 21 Cognitive Mind Traps 1. Cognitive Dissonance - When held beliefs conflict, people will reinterpret situations to reduce discomfort 2. Spotlight Effect - People overestimate how much others are observing them 3. Anchoring Effect - First piece of information anchors our perspective and influences judgments 4. Halo Effect - Initial positive impressions of a person or thing outweigh negatives 5. Gambler's Fallacy - Believing future probabilities are affected by past events 6. Contrast Effect - Judgments of something can be altered by the context it is presented in 7. Confirmation Bias - Seeking and interpreting information that confirms existing beliefs 8. Baader Meinhof Phenomenon - Noticing something more after first learning about it 9. Zeigarnik Effect - Incomplete tasks stick in memory more than completed ones 10. Paradox of Choice - Too many choices can lead to decision paralysis Key Takeaways: - We have mental shortcuts and biases influencing us below conscious awareness - Becoming aware of them can help us make more rational judgments - Seeking out contrary evidence and expanding perspectives is important - Having a plan can reduce the Zeigarnik effect - Too much choice can be paralyzing

My mind trap is thinking the worst of every outcome. While this sometimes comes in handy for preparing for an emergency such as a hurricane, worrying about the outcome of something being negative rather than also considering the outcome being positive creates anxiety.

Money holds no value if the world collapses.

[@anthonyfamularo8875]

This is madness, for several reasons. Here are two, extemporaeously: 1) The example of 10,000 years of human civilization strongly suggests that stable government is required for the smooth functioning of any human society larger than a couple hundred people, and without it nothing you "own" will provide any protection for you whatsoever. You think gold can buy security? Only until your bodyguards decide that they'd rather have it for themselves. Or until somebody with *more* gold fancies that he'd like to add yours to his pile. 2) Whereas gold and silver can be materially useful and are basic atomically stable elements of nature that don't physically deteriorate on any human time-scale, digital currencies are about as durable as Beanie Babies, and of even less inherent utility, because they're tied to the wholly artificial scarcity of ephemeral and inherently valueless imaginary "objects." They might *mimic* commodities, but are in fact abstractions of zero practical value to anyone. They're nothing more than NFTs whose worthlessness is concealed behind mathematical structures that almost nobody understands. They're the equivalent of the rules of a game ... If nobody feels like playing, they become meaningless, and the game ceases to exist. At least, whenever I've asked why cryptos have any intrinsic value at all, I've never received an intelligible answer that relies on anything more than fuzzy hopes and childish resentments. And good luck trying to cash them in if a solar flare knocks out the global electrical grid for a year; when that happens, I'll have far more trust in an extant government of my fellow humans than in the nigh-impenetrable zero-sum game-theory that is blockchain pseudo-currency. Also, ponder this: If the government of, say, Germany were to collapse overnight and the country to descend into violent chaos, the world's confidence in democracy would be shaken to its core, and all manner of crises would erupt all around the globe. If, on the other hand, the value of a Bitcoin dissolved to nothing overnight, the vast majority of the world would say, "Yeah, that makes sense, it always seemed shady" and enjoy ten minutes of schadenfreude before forgetting about it and carrying on with their day as normal. The greatest victims of crypto collapse would be money launderers, and, well, good.

The reason behind this, for what i think is, if you cant get the thing you want... you think that the thing that you wanted is flawed or faulty but rather than confirming the flaw in you, yourself. Real life true eg: i wanted to go in physics field because i had interest or desire. Just like the fox had a desire to want grapes. But, i couldnt get into physics field because of reality of the field being super saturated and less scope and little lucrative. The post i was aiming for was of physicist, and i could have settled for anything other than that but stubornly in physics field. Fast forward 5 yrs later i am graduating from pharma, and i always made sure that everytime i had a thought of "why i am not a physicist?".... I used to tackle it by saying the field and its system has its own problems, and how it is flawed and faulty for me. Just like the fox who was unable to grab the grapes saw fault in grapes being so unreachable or even sour to the extent that i wont even try to reach it again. But, now that i look at it from another angle, by looking at problem or fault that may lie in me... i sense that i was poor in performance as well, and didnt have what it takes to reach that level for physicist or whatever. I saw the flaw in me, and to some extent i could have corrected it by practicing more. Yet, i failed to look at myself and address my part of flaw and always kept comforting myself by dwelling on the blame towards the flaw of system and field. Thus its just how life is... and i would never forget this. #lessonlearned.

[@JHS270694]

@@GunnerRDS You're right for the most part. That's the Dunning-Kruger effect kicking in for a lot of people. It's not just KZbin videos like this, it can be a lot of self help books too, where you think after reading/watching educational and/or helpful material, you feel more capable than before. In reality, it's just a part of you hyping yourself up because it feels good so then there's no need to actually put what you've learned to good use and refine. For example, after having watched this video, I know a few mind traps I should avoid from now on. I feel though now I'm a bit wiser than I was before and that I'll remember to apply everything I've learned thus far at a later date. In reality, I'm overestimating my own capabilities and will most likely just fall for the same said traps as I have before. It'll take a special type of conviction for me to zealously follow whatever I've been taught in this video, something I feel I don't have. It's more educational entertainment for me to pass the time. Some people are aware of this and can look past the feel good feeling after consuming such content, and actually take the effort required to put things they've learned to good use. Though I imagine that would be a minority of people, hence you being mostly right, though not entirely in my opinion.

Enlightened centrist spotted in the wild

[@AnthroArcade]

@@Benben-lb2li I don't think so. In fact, there's been a lot of folks I've spoken with offline that believe both sides have good and bad ideas, and that consideration of such things is good. While people might have a preference for say, a political party, having blind faith to one while believing the other is wholly evil is not a good thing. Sometimes, but not all the time, there are benefits to combining ideas or philosophies. Bruce Lee, for example, created Jeet Kun Do by mixing Martial Arts with Streetfighting.

This video is incredible. On the contrast effect… saving the $10 dollars on the bigger purchase would not effect my decision as much as I would be more concerned with the care I will receive after the purchase and the general vibe & feelings of the business etc. I can take the risk of going for a cheaper lunch because if it turns out to be of lower quality it will not affect me down the line (for the most part). With a car or an expensive garment, it absolutely will affect me if the business are not gracious with returns, repairs, advice.

great video, honestly this is just what I needed right now the paradox of choice has an even worse effect, being that we tend to limit the number of options for ourselves so that choosing becomes easier and more satisfying. You don't want to consider buying every car in the world, so you're prone to limiting yourself to only a few companies and only a few lines from said companies, especially ones that you've seen used. This is IMO the destructive part.

Paradox of choice seems similar to information overflow. When I’ve experienced too many choices it was debilitating because I was trying to consider all possible options.

[@KenFullman]

I have this issue when I visit a shopping centre with a huge, pretty vacant car park. The arguments I have with myself. The obvious choice is the space nearest the pedestrian entrance to the shopping area, But it would be better to take a space nearest where I'm going to be coming out with all my goodies, Or perhaps nearest the exit to the car park in case it gets busy. Or maybe near the place I can pick up and/or drop off a shopping trolley. If there's very few spaces in the car park, I'll just be pleased to find a vacant space, but when there are a lot of choices, whichever one I pick, I'll see other spaces with their own virtues. As soon as we drive into an empty car park I hear my wife saying "Oh no, here we go!"

The one near the end about "analysis paralysis" that shoppers etc suffer from when given an excess of choices fascinates me; most of us can relate 1st hand to shopping online for hours for something specific, only to get overwhelmed & frustrated & give up to come back later with a fresh mind. The fact that it's (at least in part) the MISSED OPPORTUNITY COST of alllll the other options when there's a larger selection is something I hadn't specifically considered- makes sense!! Love logical fallacies etc, this is gonna sound super nerdy but thanks for making some into a video so I could learn about them while I'm cooking (rather than being glued to my screen reading about them). 😂 🤓

I usually combat the too many choices problem by trying to separate things in to categories like cheap, small and so on and with those categories just picking something from the category that mostly satisfy what I desire.

These are good points. Regarding the Baader Meinhoff phenomenon, it is known by some that once you learn something or have a new experience, that new knowledge or experience will start to show up more, not as a coincidence but because you were meant to have that experience or knowledge and repeat it until you learn the lessons from it or you know the information well enough. Everything happens for a reason. It’s not just a phenomenon, it has meaning behind it. When you see repeating numbers, words, events, etc in your life there is a reason for it, because it is messages from source to you. It is trying to communicate with you.
