Making FALSE Assumptions

[@AngadGrewal]

Made a false assumption before even watching this video that this was going to be about rational decision making and objectivity being a superior strategy in all cases, somehow. But it ended up being a reminder to check whether I'm making a false assumption. Great video as always! :)

[@karolinasowinska]

I'm glad the video proved to be useful so fast!

Nice video. False assumptions are very dangerous, in technical problems and in relationships with other people, it's something I try to work on daily.

[@BillyDTourist]

As a way of life, like you said , we have to make assumptions. Whether we fact check occasionally or not is another thing. I think the not calling the ISP part makes sense because nowadays queue times on such calls are like half an hour in my experience and you usually do not get something out of the experience. Which creates a bias to steer away from calling providers of services (e.g. calling your GP) One could call it the virtual queue conundrum. Though it derives from the we will not get any help assumption, I think that we are just naturally dismissive of a negative experience which these phone calls usually are. You look amazing in that last shot. PS, the clarification on the updates is lovely

[@karolinasowinska]

You are right. Especially at the beginning, due to the reasons you mentioned, it probably makes sense to try and solve a problem of such kind on your own. The bias is probably more evident when, after a long struggle, we carry on. Thanks! I committed myself to weekly Thursday 6PM London time uploads - I might communicate that on the channel header as well! :)

Thank you for an interesting video. I work in I.T and so it seems very relevant to what I do in my day to day work. However, this came up as a suggestion not because I was searching for something related to IT but because of the nature of false assumptions. The examples you gave cost you time and perhaps towels and these are small things. However, when someone maks a false assumption about a persons nature, it can be really damaging and I was looking for advice on how to handle it when the assumption has been made against me by someone who didn't fact check with me first, but formewd their own opinion and then spread that as though it were a fact. I guess I will keep searching for answers to that but I subbed to you anyway!

I’m glad you came across this video then. Thank you!

@@karolinasowinska This video came up as the first suggestion, so thanks for helping me understand the basics.

And one thing, the video qualities are getting better and smoother..... Keep it up....

[@karolinasowinska]

Thank you, will do!

[@adrianaraczkowska2065]

I like how you used the story from your own life to speak about a wider subject of false assumptions in life :)

[@karolinasowinska]

Definitely, our own experiences are typically the best lessons! :)

[@abhishekchakravorty6250]

Impressive as always, But oftenly after making an assumption, we get to know that, it was a false assumption. After watching thisa video, I realised that an assumption should be, backed by some research!! Thanks, Growing day by day, physically, mentally and emotionallly. Trying to be a better person everyday.

[@karolinasowinska]

Absolutely, that's the key - we should try to make conscious assumptions! ;) And I completely agree with you, personal growth is an extremely important value!

[@sukeshseth989]

Maybe it's high time that I should start thinking on this, I too make a lot of false assumptions!☹️ Thank you for sharing 😌🙏🏻

[@karolinasowinska]

We all fall prey to irrational behaviour - but it's always good to strive to be better and recognise when we're being illogical! ;) I'm glad the video prompted you to reflect on this!

2:13 the crazy Indian "jugar" hmmm proud that it's popular there also....

[@karolinasowinska]

I didn't know the term "jugar", but I've just googled - absolutely, popular here too! ;)

[@MrGonzaable]

I love your english accent :P. Great advice, my tip is to do not give much worrys to assumptions that cause us pain or are negative for no reason, so being rational and more patient is better.

[@karolinasowinska]

Well said, worrying too much about things that aren't even confirmed to be real is a waste of time and sanity!

[@ScantaniouslyCombust]

Tbh, I don't think it's entirely incorrect to assume your ISP is gonna be absolutely freakin useless, because... they usually are pretty useless.

[@mercantilism954]

In a project, false assumption made in the first place can screw up the entire project

[@karolinasowinska]

You're absolutely right!

[@Shawn666Hellion]

Making a false assumption is the same as making a false accusation

[@jonathan-._.-]

also helps for programming by the way ^^

[@karolinasowinska]

Definitely! :)

[@CClaudia2012]

Loved the story 🙈 made it much easier for me to relate to the topic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@karolinasowinska]

I'm glad you liked it - I also think that it's good to explain various concepts using stories!

You look exactly like my polish friend except that your accent is slightly different. Nice explanation, easy to follow huh!

[@karolinasowinska]

I've got a clone! Ah, gonna have to live with that! I'm glad you liked the video! ;)

[@sofusaxelsen4029]

@@karolinasowinska After listening to your thoughts, I think you're kind out of the box. I would like you to make more videos about Business and Data Analyst. I don't know whether this is just a trend or something, but there are so many available jobs in that position compared to Data Scientist's jobs. Looking forward to hearing from you 😉!

You can make audio videos on ghost stories. I came here without assuming anything but just to see you as a friend. Have a good day.

Thanks for stepping by, have a good day as well! ;)
