The Lost Genius of Irrationality: Rory Sutherland at TEDxOxford

Regarding the traffic and speed I was pulled over by a police once because I slowed down when I noticed him even though I was going the speed limit. He followed me and pulled me over and asked me where I was coming from I told him work it was after 12 a.m. in the morning. He asked me why I slowed down. I told him because it's a natural instinct for me to slow down whenever I see the police.

Loved the comment from Planck. The math for economics is too hard. Agree that football has a degree of irrationality to it. It's just people mostly kicking a ball around.

[@SomethingMobile]

I like him. I think he would be fun friend for an outing. I don’t think he has ever seen Ronaldo practice. The man uses his feet better than the average person does hands. There is no luck in the way he handles a soccer or “football.” I really don’t have a problem with this speakers view of soccer. I just wanted to ensure that it’s understood. The value one person has in a sport doesn’t negate the immense practice and time a sports player has spent on perfecting a skill. There is luck in sports, and life. There is no doubt about that, but sports or life won’t happen by luck alone. One must actually play sports, and live life to have the chance to experience luck. Luck shouldn’t be a deciding factor to do or not do anything. Luck happens, and life happens. Luck is something that happens, and can sometimes make things more interesting.

interesting thoughts on Dual Carriageway speed cameras made by Rory. My idea was they were designed to keep everyone in the "slow" lane, thus freeing up the passing (fast) lane for when it is required. In reality they were an easy cash grab as there was greater instinct to get ahead of the person in front of you as that 35 seconds you saved translates into millions in gain revenue.

[@breakdancer100]

I feel like this guy is saying something smart but I'm just too dumb to get any of it...

[@3lit3gn0m3]

I feel as though I understood it, but you never know. Here is my take: Problems can be solved psychologically rather than numerically. Religious traditions might not make sense to us, but when you look at what they do, you can associate the benefit gained with laws we've enforced due to scientific studies. I think the example he made regarding the sabbath(sp?) says it quite well: if people are overworking, make one day a day off. However, to apply it as a simple law would not stick. Let's move to the "Designated Driver" and "Zipper Merge" effects, and apply it to why the "Sabbath" had a name, and stuck. It gave humans a way to associate with the law in a simple way which could be easily followed. So, basically, 'irrationality' to me simply means not thinking of the human brain as a computer, but more in the sense of meteorology(as he more or less stated), in that we must predict how to use information to influence the population rather than statistics. Again, I might have not understood it fully...I've always been interested in human psychology, so that is inevitably how I viewed his talk.

[@Talazorn]

Football and tennis are games of skill. A great team/player would beat a mediocre team/player pretty much 100% of the time, so mostly there is human agency, not luck.

[@mrdillerfar]

You seem to forget about everything else he says on that particular subject. The individual human agency does matter when it comes down to an individual (as in tennis) and small increments (such in tennis), but in football you have a lot of individually very talented guys (and probably also in a team way talented) that are trying to work as a hive mind against another team trying to work as a hive mind, which in all effect will never work. Instead you've got 22 individuals on a field with their own somewhat random thoughts and actions which in the end gives a result that is pretty difficult to calculate beforehand (that is, random). Thus it is not deterministic, it is on account of randomness = mostly luck. If it weren't mostly based on luck, then people would be earning shitloads of money betting on every game because it was highly predictable who would win. It isn't (especially not when the two teams are highly equal, that is you don't have the brazilian national team play against little league, so yeah it is MOSTLY random not completely). The only reason why bookmakers usually make a lot of cash, cause their system of predicting outcomes are just as highly improbable as economics are, are because they adjust odds and bet rates in a way that makes it almost certain that they will earn quite a fair bit of money either way.

[@3lit3gn0m3]

If you've ever done WoW raiding on a hardcore level, you'd truly understand what it means for something to be predictable. Fights like M'uru needed to be executed perfectly every single time, yet one tiny mistake from anyone could wipe the raid. Even though it was one of the most overly tuned fights ever, and only experienced raiders attempted it, there was still room for an 'unlucky' add placement or event caused by another raid member. What mrdillerfar touches on this, but I admit to only skimming his post. To put this into context, you're underestimating the variations of how a ball can be kicked, and how player placement can affect the kicker. There's a reason those in competitive sports and such psych themselves up, and learn to deal with stress; they don't want an unexpected event (bad luck) to mess with their performance. In short...Talazorn, I don't mean this in an offensive way, but I doubt you've ever played competitively with a statement such as that.

[@crpggamer]

Do you feel bad selling wine knowing that it's not helping people? There are likely better ways to deal with stress. Once upon a time there was a need alcohol when drinking water was of poor quality. What amazes me the most is that people think so much about how to maximize profit. None the less it was interesting to listen to.

Rory, competent economists do not view monopolies as a bad thing. Michael Jackson has a monopoly on his voice, his performances, and character, but yet that is not hated by economists. there is problem here. the only problem with monopolies economists have is when the monopoly is forced(example: legislated and enforced by law, like mail, or energy, or healthcare, or money etc.) just for future reference =)

[@CharlesBrown-xq5ug]

Technology may have advanced enough to release civilization from the confines of the second law of thermodynamics. These confines were imposed during Victorian England's scientific and religious cultural fascination with steam engines. The second law is behind modern refgeration needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The total released and discarded heat minus the removed heat equal the electrical input but the attached conversion of electricity into heat is forced. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity. In an extreme case senario, full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light banks, automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, and self contained elevators and horizontal transports. In a flourishing civillization senario, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminus signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people see fit. Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks. If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones. Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in. A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive electricity when the electrical load is matched to the array impeadence. Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. For reference, there are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter. Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab: ______________________ - Out 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 ______________________ + Out All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins; all the N type semiconductor cathodes abut the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more in equatorial dry desert summer days and less in polar desert winter nights. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type)on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so the forward moving electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Inside the diode, heat is absorbed: outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage. Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity. A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode. There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of your efforts. These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous. Aloha Charles M Brown Kilauea Kauai Hawaii 96754

Network theory... Your bit about behavioural economics vs rational economics, and social heuristics... The assumption of expensive local compute, cheap global communication drives these deductions... May be the case may not be the case. People already spend more than a decade in schools, which is a medium of distributing said social heuristics. It cannot be that hard for people to just figure out the most acceptable behaviour themselves. How much do you want to teach in schools vs how much you want people to figure out by themselves... Things like rational thinking and mathematics are stored in the global communications network, and does not arise locally. Irrational things to be quite easy for a person to come up with, because they are aligned with the feelings mechanism of making decisions, which is not as influenced by the society as the rational thinking part which duplicates network information from society.

+Mark Cabides Hi Mark. The easiest way to think of a heuristic is as a rule of thumb. In this context, a heuristic is something that aids decision making. A heuristic is usually an assumption within a certain context. For example, if you are about to walk outside and you can see that everyone is wearing sunglasses, you might want to stick yours on too. This is based on the heuristic that if a lot of people are doing something, it's often the right thing to do. However, this does not apply in every situation (e.g. squeezing on to The Tube) Hope that helps
