If you drop the whole voting thing from your comment, the idea you're conveying becomes very self-evident, perhaps even amusingly so:
> Simply put, (...) Once you commit to a decision (...) you are less likely to change your mind, (...).
And so I'm not sure the video was about this specifically. To me, it was more about how narrative and tribalism easily overpower critical thinking in general. Being decided and then unwilling to change your mind is one thing, but as the video details, the issue discussed actually exhibits itself with open minded people more.
- vacuity 2y agoThe interesting thing that is less obvious is that, if you are convinced you made a choice that you didn't (e.g. you see your votes but one is falsified), you will stick to it. So you hadn't gone through the commitment process but then you somehow you did retroactively.
