Second only to the List of Cognitive Biases:

really... you think you know them all but you don't. Everyone needs to understand the IKEA effect for example
- virgilp 7y agoThe problem I have with these sort of lists is that they try to be comprehensive and add a lot of second order biases that tend to drown the basic/ fundamental ones. Take your example for IKEA effect: it is in fact a consequence of loss aversion. Once you invest emotion, time or money into something, you assign more value to it, because you do not want "lose" your initial investment.
- andruby 7y agoIs that again a consequence of "sunk cost" fallacy?
- PasserBy2021 7y agoKeep in mind that certain biases are censored against e.g. Apex Fallacy.
- Mathnerd314 7y agoThe Wikipedia page on that was deleted due to a lack of reliable sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Apex_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio...). There still seem to be no reliable sources. (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C6&q=%22apex+fallacy%22&btnG= https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C6&q=%22a...) I'll admit I don't see the point of many of the other cognitive biases, but at least they were coined or studied in some peer-reviewed papers.
