I find the resistance to understanding these models so interesting. I talk to friend about this and few people are able to get over their initial optimism bias.

I find the resistance to understanding these models so interesting. I talk to friend about this and few people are able to get over their initial optimism bias. Some of us who have familial experience with less ideal circumstances—war, poverty, genocide, and hyperinflation—do not hold the same biases.
- quickthrower2 3y agoI think people like me who think about things like how we got here i.e. evolution, the scale of the universe, how insignificant our planet is, let alone us (in terms of the scale of the universe) also lack optimism bias. What is gonna happen will happen. Surely COVID19 shook the "it wont happen to me" vibe out of everyone though? I mean, COVID19 happened to everyone on the planet. Whether they got sick they were effected and could see the danger of a pandemic. (Well anyone with a brain...)
