Thanks! Timestamps: System I: fast thinking, reactionary. System II: slow thinking, deeper level of analysis. 1. Frequent Exposure - The more we see something, the more we trust it. - Our preferences will be based upon our environmental conditions - Is this the best option, or the option that I've been frequently exposed to? - 1:52 2. Status Quo Bias - i. Loss aversion (losses loom longer than gains) & ii. Endowment effect (Emotional attachment) - Ask yourself: what opportunities (opportunity cost) am I losing by maintaining the status quo?- 3:32 3. Tunnel Vision - System I tends to use limited information (and block all conflicting information) to draw conclusions / quick judgments - (W-Y-S-I-A-T-I) What You See Is All There Is! System I Infers and invents causes and intentions, THEN neglects ambiguity and suppresses doubt- "Why might the opposite be true?" That will allow you to challenge old assumptions, and to avoid underestimating - 6:00 Be aware of biases to avoid costly mistakes.

1:50 Fast thinking is not faulty, it's incomplete and we can't do without it. Great video, thank you!

[@someothername9462]

Before an important decision -Slow down, and scan your "faulty thinking" checklist. That's an excellent summary of an exceptional book!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

The Endowment Effect is what happens when I go to garage sales. Sometimes people will price their stuff too high because they have an emotional attachment to the items. I go into the sales with no emotional attachment and offer less for an item. If they have too much emotional value in it, they won't sell it for less and take a sure sale. Very valuable info here! Thanks for your hard work!!

[@davidfong7848]

Great summary! I've been listening to the audiobook on and off for a long time because unlike some other books this one really dives deep into the nuances of cognitive bias so I recommend reading the book because there are so many layers to it. It really forced me to challenge my deep rooted belief that humans have an intuitive wisdom beneath all the fear, emotion, and bias but I'm no longer sure it's that simple after reading this.

Firstly, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for the great video. I bought this book a month or two ago, and it was a hell of a pain to read it. Although I like to read scientific facts behind every event, like what we think and why we do so, this book goes deep into science that it becomes hard to continue after a while. You provided a great summary and explanation because I know how hard it would be to summarise this rather scientific explanation book.

[@CaptainWumbo]

My fast thinking would be telling me it's a con. If something is too good to be true it's because it is. It's a common tactic to sucker people in with a good deal only to take advantage of their trust later with a really bad deal they're less likely to see coming. Then the villain gets to think you deserved it because you took a deal that was one sided, how immoral! Let the galaxy brains think they are perfectly rational and immune to slippery slope and other brain hiccups. Sometimes you lose more than money when you think you understand something you don't, or you trust someone you shouldn't have.

[@MrMSS22]

To give some additional insight in the "tunnelvision"-example: As mentioned multiple times in the book, humans are very bad at applying statistics. In the given example, one tends to conclude a probability from a representativeness. The given character traits are very typical of a librarian. The amount of farmers with these traits relative to all farmers is lower than the amount of librarians with these traits relative to all librarians. Therefore, the likelihood of having these traits, given that you are a librarian (farmer), is very high (very low). However, the question we ask is: "what's the likelihood of being either a librarian or a farmer, given the character traits". In this case, we assume that the ABSOLUTE number of nerdy farmers is still higher than the absolute number of nerdy librarians. For example, 5/10 (50%) librarians and 10/200 (5%) farmers are nerdy, then among the nerds, there is still a higher percentage of famers (10/15=66.7%) than of librarians (5/15=33.3%). From what is said in the video, one could conclude that the fact that there are 20x more farmers than librarians is sufficient to conclude that the guy is a farmer. Let's reduce the percentage of nerdy farmers to 2%. Now only 4/200 farmers are nerds. The likelihood of being farmer given you are a nerd is now only 4/9 compared to 5/9 librarians among the nerds. This is why you have to be careful, if the character trait is even more specific and if the base rates (the probability of belonging to a certain group, i.e. being a farmer/librarian in general) are not as different as in this case.

[@abz4852]

@Pat its correct but why stress moving b to the right at the beginning, the expansion of brackets times 1 automatically remove it. So (1.00+b) + b = 1.10 1.00 + 2b = 1.10 b = 0.1÷2 = 0.05 Oh also its 0.05 not 0.5 Anyways its good im just being extremely fussy

[@RootinrPootine]

JohnnyArt Pavlou Oops, it looks like you’re thinking fast again. Nope, it’s name recognition. Heres the slow thinking version: 1) Biden was Vice President. 2) Leftist policy/Bernie gets zero support on tv 3) Old people watch more tv news 4) news cries wolf about trump and russiagate 5) old people panic, understandably. 6) news tells them centrists have a better chance of beating republicans despite 2016 definitively shattering this decades long lie. 7) old people vote turn out is more than young people (who don’t watch propaganda) and this swings the nomination. 8) Biden wins on name recognition and voter suppression (centrist that they know and rich people are fine with and the media drums this home). 9) Biden loses to Trump because he’s even more vulnerable than Hillary.

For anyone still unsure about the ‘bat & ball’ question.... The total cost of both bat and ball have to add up to $1.10. So if the ball costs $0.10, then the bat has to cost $1.00. The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO NUMBERS IS $0.90. So to readdress the original question.... if they both have combined cost of $1.10, but the bat costs $1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?.... well, $0.05. That would leave $1.05 left over for the bat. The difference between $0.05 and $1.05 is $1.

[@Huki777]

Finally someone mentioned it.

[@user-vr9dj4eo8v]

You can use this simple equation: x for ball x + 1 for bat 1.1 = (x +1) + x 1.1 = 2x + 1 2x = 1.1 - 1 2x = 0.1 x = 0.05

Our core beliefs about life have been programmed into us from a very early age. (Whether good or not so good) Our lives will be run by these beliefs “unchecked” if we do not make a conscious decision to sort thru them. And pick and choose which beliefs need to be rewired and changed. Our brains are made of plastic and can be remolded and reformed with new habits, attitudes and core values.

4:10 regarding the coin toss bet for losing 100 or gaining 150. You mentioned that most people would turn down the bet even though that if they bet 10,000 times they are virtually guaranteed to make money. However, the key part to the bet is not going broke before the odds turn in your favor. If you go broke in 5 or 10 turns then it does not matter what the overall odds are over 10k or even 1000 turns.

[@admiralhyperspace0015]

One thing I want to point out is thinking fast in everyday matters isn't bad. You should ONLY jump to a conclusion by thinking fast when the decision you are making is of significant importance. Because doing that with everything in your life will be mind costly and probably cause "paralysis by analysis". "You get a 90% okay deal. Buy it" (simple)

@@JamboRiffs Democracy is immoral and the best we have is no government at all. The belief in “authority,” which includes all belief in “government,” is irrational and self-contradictory; it is contrary to civilization and morality and constitutes the most dangerous, destructive superstition that has ever existed. Rather than being a force for order and justice, the belief in “authority” is the arch-enemy of humanity.

Good attempt at simplifying a complex book on a complex topic. I've read the book myself, and consider it one of the most important books I've read in my 60 years. The video gives a wrong slant to the book by seeming to imply that the slow, rational system is superior to the fast, instinctive system. It is not. Kahneman makes it clear with his superb experiments why we need to pay attention to BOTH systems. We are not ever in real life given the chance to bet on 10,000 coin tosses (the video neglected to mention that it was not a one-off coin toss); however we are faced with many situations where we need to make snap decisions. The fast system excels at this and saves us. The book is a wonderful read, anybody who wants to understand human behaviour must read it.

[@davlmt]

Is the 'sunk cost bias' a composite of loss aversion and endowment effect or something different altogether?

In a way yes, sunk cost fallacy means that you want to stick to something because you have already invested a lot of time and money in it, loss aversion means that you weigh loss more than you weigh the gain.

Key takeaways FaST 1.frequent exposure to repetition make it hard for people to judge someone immediately and they believe it to be good bcoz they heard or seen it so many times. In recent political Scenario most of the people in the country do not have proper information on whom to vote they vote on intuition so frequent exposure to a candidate despite him/her being a bad leader people tend to vote for the same leader again as they don't want to go into nut and bolt of the whole process. 2.frequent exposure to status quo. If we react to what we just understood without going through the slow analytical approach we tend to be wrong many times even if we are wrong we don't want to accept it and rather maintain our status quo igoring many biases subconsciously. 3.Narrow thinking is a tunnel approach you don't have to turn around or take cut it is a straight one dimensional road , Means that we don't give another thought about the possible scenarios of the same situation and believe in that our fast thinking reached at first , It should be multidimensional approach but we tend to follow a single dimensional approach to a given problem.
