Probably do better reading these all in one place than trying to cobble them together from random blogs from 2009.
This one is the Irrational escalation or Escalation of commitment/Sunk Cost Fallacy.

- projektfu 7y agoThis article has too many biases. What's needed is a prioritized list :) This is the tl/dr phenomenon...
- happytoexplain 7y agoI'm not sure it's fair to imply that the wikipedia article for a topic is equivalent in value to a blog post about that topic.
- Finnucane 7y agoTrue, the blog post probably has less value.
- svnpenn 7y agoSeth's blog is arguably one of the most popular blogs of all time, so it's not a "random blog". The fact that you haven't heard of it says more about you than the blog.
- friedman23 7y agoThis comment is strange, what does him not knowing about this blog say about him?
- californical 7y agoI didn't know much about Seth's blog before, but that doesn't matter as long as I remember it for the future!
- gravitas 7y agoHoly cow I've never wanted HN karma more than to downvote you looking down your nose at another person just because they'd never heard of something. I've never heard of Seth's blog either, it's just a random blog I'll probably never visit again unless linked here.
