Sunk cost fallacy in simple terms, don't keep making a bad decision, just because you have spent a long time making it.

These are one of those things that you just "know" your whole life, but until someone points them out to you, you never notice them consciously. The last one was most beneficial to me, something I should remember going forward. Thanks for the amazing video, love learning new things :)

Decision fatigue is especially rough with services that seem mandatory. Student loans, retirement plans, and other services that require time and research to understand the available options can greatly benefit by providing a multitude of options with only minor variations, especially if there’s a time limit to the decision, like with limited-time offers. Buyers end up trusting sales reps’ suggestions just to be done with the process of considerarion.

Oh the Sunk Cost Fallacy..... keeps us holding onto losing stocks, hoping for them to get back to even. If they get back to even and we sell, the price skyrockets higher. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 2023 resolution.... putting this on my daily board for reminder. 👍

[@LifeStartsAtrpm-ru1xo]

The price does not always skyrocket after we get to break even. That’s FOMO, another very dangerous trap when investing 😅

[@humanbeing4995]

Isn't money a sunk cost fallacy? I dunno about you but I put a lot of time thinking what one hour of work can buy, or how many hours a large purchase would represent. If I told you it'd take 20 years in hours to build your house it wouldn't seem like a fantastic investment? A simple beverage becomes half an hour of HARD work for most people. I'd say the life we've made up for ourselves is a sunk cost fallacy for the simple fact we've been unwilling to give up a system that existed before the written word could write it into history.

[@humanbeing4995]

Life is like that twilight zone episode where you can totally get some money for pushing a button, while someone you don't know suffers for it. When the button is taken away, it is given to someone else who doesn't know you.

[@fuzzblightyear145]

absolutely. been guilty of this many times. that feeling of "can;t sell it as i'll lose money", and then it keeps on going down, so you lose even more. Now have a rule that if it drops X% then sell it no matter what. (And I really need to clean out my wardrobe...)

[@HostileGingerATL]

You always get your money back. Stocks don’t apply to this. The only time you lose money is when you follow the herd by pulling out when everything’s dropping. This is an opportunity to buy at a discount and come out with exponential growth when it corrects. Don’t panic sell.

[@BrentLast1]

The first question of the "simple logic" was creating deception through fallacy in articulation "if the paddle is $1.05 how much is the ball" would be a lot easier to comprehend and if the question is creating a red flag, that is on the person who's selling is at fault, not the: why am I trying to think harder about this question? Easy answer "no thanks. I'm good." These types of questions are creating problems in similar situations placing false blame on persons misconception of the lack or skewed of information, instead placing blame on the person or "test" who or what is creating the lie or intentional confusion.

According to the video, Paddle = Ball + $1, If the ball is 10c as you guys said then it would be... Paddle (1$10c) + Ball (10c)= 1$ 20c (The whole bag is $1.10, not $1.20 so it doesn't add up. ) So we can use that "Paddle = Ball + $1" in the calculation as follow Paddle + Ball = $1.10 $1+Ball + Ball = $1.10 (cuz Paddle = Ball + $1) Ball + Ball = $1.10 - $1 Ball + Ball = 10c Ball = 5c This is the easiest way to show a ball cost 5c.

7% pay rise yearly does not double your salary in 10 years, you need to consider the compound effect. If you start on 100k, then it is 107k and then 1.07*107k=114.49k and so on..

[@ryanhubbard1756]

I don't understand how she came up with $0.05 for the ping pong ball? The total price for the paddle and ball is $1.10 so, ball would be $0.10. Am i missing something here?

[@isurititta3668]

if ball was $0.10 then paddle being $1 more, it would cost $1.10, then total would be $1.20

[@isurititta3668]

the paddle is $1 "more" than the ball ball = $0.05 paddle = ball +$1 = $0.05 + $1 = $1.05 paddle + ball = $1.05 + $0.05 = $1.10

[@nagisasdangopillow1243]

@Isuri Titta does that mean there is 2 balls?

[@isurititta3668]

@@nagisasdangopillow1243 no.. 1 ball which costs $0.05 and 1 paddle which costs $1.05 add them together and total will be $1.10

[@crgrier]

what throws people is that a ball that costs 0.10 and a paddle which costs 1.00 also totals 1.10. Use Algebra: let B = cost of ball and P = cost of paddle given: P + B = 1.10 (a paddle and ball costs 1.10) given: P = B + 1.00 (the paddle costs 1.00 more than the ball) notice the second equation is already solved for P substitute formula for P into the first equation: (B + 1.00) + B = 1.10 simplify: 2B + 1.00 = 1.10 subtract 1.00 from both sides: 2B = 0.10 divide both sides by 2: B = 0.05 To check, substitute for B in second equation. P = (0.05) + 1.00 P = 1.05 The ball costs 5 cents and the paddle costs 1 dollar and 5 cents. QED

[@nagisasdangopillow1243]

Hold up I don't understand that ping pong ball one at all, I even paused it and tried reading comments. There's just no way the ball isn't 10c

[@crgrier]

OK, let's check that answer. So, we know that paddle = ball + 1.00. If we put in your answer for the ball, we get paddle = .10 + 1.00 paddle = 1.10 Since a paddle and ball together costs 1.10, we also have paddle + ball = 1.10 paddle + .10 = 1.10 paddle = 1.00 paddle = 1.00 and paddle = 1.10 is a contradiction; i.e. 0.10 is not the correct answer for ball. Let's try the other answer. paddle = ball +1.00 paddle = 0.05 + 1.00. paddle = 1.05 paddle + ball = 1.10 paddle + 0.05 = 1.10 paddle = 1.05 It's the same answer for both conditions. So the paddle costs 1.05 and the ball costs 0.05. See it now?

[@franklynnyein127]

According to the video, Paddle = Ball + $1, If the ball is 10c as you said then it would be... Paddle (1$10c) + Ball (10c)= 1$ 20c (The whole bag is $1.10, not $1.20 so it doesn't add up. ) So we can use that "Paddle = Ball + $1" in the calculation as follow Paddle + Ball = $1.10 $1+Ball + Ball = $1.10 (cuz Paddle = Ball + $1) Ball + Ball = $1.10 - $1 Ball + Ball = 10c Ball = 5c This is the easiest way to show a ball cost 5c. I hope you get it.

I knew I was wrong about the ping pong question, but I don't understand the machine question. They must be far more specific. Like, a total of five shirts from all five machines? One shirt per machine? Or is it five shirts PER machine? I interpreted it as the latter.

[@crgrier]

@@internetphia Let's forget about the 5 minutes for a second and just call it T. If five machines makes five shirts in T time, then one machine makes one shirt in T time. The time it takes each machine to make a shirt didn't change. Therefore the number of shirts you make in T time is the same as the number of machines. 5 machines makes 5 shirts and 100 machines makes 100 shirts and T is still five minutes. Another example: Nine pregnant women take nine months to make nine babies. How long will it take 100 pregnant women to make 100 babies? Still nine months. If it were 100 months, they would be pregnant for over 8 years and we know that's not how it works.
