Ah yea, the fun stuff like cognitive biases. One famous example is priming, which introduces time dependencies that most people do not pay attention to (when asked they believe that their decisions were not influenced by a past event): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(psychology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(psychology)

- chillacy 11y agoSure, I think you can attempt to correct for if you know about them, but that's still extra work, and it's still compensation that you can over or undershoot. And then of course they don't really teach this in public schools, so most people just aren't aware. I do think we're doing an okay job in some areas, like pilot training, the scientific method, etc. But we're doing a terrible job in other important fields, like politics
