Very good material here. Reading lately the work of Daniel Kahneman on this and I can confirm we literally operate on auto which we haven't chosen. The mental glitches we face and the cognitive biases are many. And not the only ones. "Thinking. Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. Tough to read for me but learning so many things about how our brain operates that we don't realize.
That book blew my mind lol. Have you read The Undoing Project? It is a great story about Kahneman by Michael Lewis (Moneyball). Our brains evolved to operate at whatever balance of efficiency, speed and accuracy was optimal for our ancestors' success. Accuracy slows us down and burns resources. So we evolved to increase speed and efficiency, which reduces accuracy. And to not notice or be able to detect it in ourselves. Intellectually accepting that it is nevertheless true, then using strategies and adjustments to counter act or account for its effects is all we can do. The truth is really humbling once it sinks in lol.
@@Carnivore-Brent Yes, I am still reading Thinking, Fast and Slow. It is the most difficult read I've had, since it goes deep in theories and concepts on the topic, on which I had little knowledge of. Yet, it clarifies a lot that's going on all the time in our brains. No, I haven't read the Undoing Project and it sounds interesting now that I am reading. I will check it out. Really interesting how our brains evolved through the years and what we can actually do now to hack the ''default mode'' so we can operate the way we really want. It goes beyond what we call today ''programming'' and I find it really difficult. Although, I consider myself an intellectual person ( in the sense of one who uses his brain much) I conclude that the ''solution'' after all is in putting a ''break'' on the mind and be more open to experience (which will give the mind the necessary data to form a better assesment on what's happening). Always being open to experiment and try doing unusual stuff or usual stuff in an unusual way (meaning new paths for neurons). We self-sabotage our lives way too much with our minds and countless stuff goes on in our mind in a second, not to mention during an entire day. How do we apply control even in the duration of seconds (during such minimum time all opportunities are either won or lost) I consider it is a high art in life. It needs systems and self-programming beforehand and at that time we need to mix physiology (breathing techniques) with alternative mindset (which also can be built beforehand). It is I think what image we create for ourselves in our brain. I am still learning on this and experimenting/searching every day 😅
@@orfeas8 Thanks for that thoughtful reply. I've had a few experiences that have increased my openness to new ideas. Reading good stuff like we've been discussing, being trained in the science of persuasion during my trial lawyer days, and "tuning in" with some psychedelics. Just now getting into breath work. I'm excited to see what experiences that might bring. Zen has a concept of the beginners mind, that seems to make so much sense. When we maintain a beginners mind we are acting as if we are learning something new for the first time, all the time. We question everything and know nothing. All possibilities are open this way because we know nothing. At least this is my understanding. Remembering this helps us keep a beginners mindset, which helps us have an open mind, which helps us learn more. I think (whoever "I" is lol).
@@Carnivore-Brent thanks for yours too. It is nice sharing this path we have taken. Breath work is something I work on a bit lately and I consider to move more into that as I think it can unlock potential. You know it is diredctly linked with how we manage stress and challenges and also with invigorating our system, muscles, brain. Eastern philosophies have nice and valuable pieces as far as I have seen. For western people it has something we miss I think probably because of the way of life we lead. We don't take much time to appreciate the moments, yet our life consists of moments. I would take what you said about beginner's mind and widen it into a child's mind. Being in awe with things at the moment and regarding life with simplicity. Children have so many ''abilities'' (not developed by innate) as superpowers like incorporating play at anything they do (apart from entertainment play is also a way to develop new skills), experimenting with stuff with a sense of wonder and curiosity, being in awe with simple stuff like they have seen them for the first time (this has amazing effects on the human brain through the release of certain feel-good hormones), making new friends super easily, not holding grudge on other people, loving adventure, laughing easily and from their heart to name just a few. Now that you see them from the perspective of an adult you realize their value and how hard are many of them to attain as a grown-up person. It's like our brains have become more solid and we have lost our ''fluidity''. All of the above superpowers of children have amazing benefits in human physiology and I am telling you outstanding benefits in the quality of life and the joy one can draw out of life. I have grasped this concept the past few months and it is so hard to attain the child's mind in this point of view I mentioned above. We have been programmed by social norms and we choose limited identities for ourselves, prohibiting ourselves from absorbing the magic life has to offer at each moment. We literally provoke senescence (the growing-old) for our brains, souls and our physiology is affected by this indirectly and directly I would say. Linked with some stuff I read on Taoism mentioning something like ''Everything is about a return. A return to the primordial simplicity.'' and putting it all together, I think we, humans, actually need subtractive thinking more, so as to remove stuff (information and notions and ideologies) from our brain that don't promote life and vitality and I think we have solved gigantic problems in our lives both in physical level and mental. Quality of life and hapinness skyrockets and our enormous potential is released. It's like tapping at the very source of life. We hold this power man!
The first ideas we get can very possibly be less-than-optimal solutions because of the Einstellung effect... when our mind picks up solutions from past similar problems...ignoring the possibility of better solutions. That's why the advice "think it over" when bigger things are at stake.
Very nice informative video. I am reading this things from the book ' Art of Thinking Clearly' but I need to understand things more clearly. This video helped me pretty much.
Cognitive biases - systematic errors in thinking - mental shortcuts to making decisions - information filter 1. Self serving bias - people protect their ego and self esteem 2. FOMO - fear of missing out, making people scared they're being left out 3. Gambler's fallacy-
Excercise should be in moderation. There should be balance between resting and excercising . Work-life balance is important for sustainable development...
Hey! From where do you do your research from ?? Example I never knew what cognitive biases were ?? Did you read them in a book?? And do these ideas just randomly pop into the creative mind or do you spend particular hours solely to think about video ideas?? btw Keep Up the Good work! I have subscribed ! :)
This video could be retitled: "Tricks marketers use to sell overpriced, useless crap....don't fall for their tricks". Informational video, nonetheless.

Thanks so much for creating this amazing interpretation of my article! Really enjoyed seeing it illustrated and brought to life :)
Always be honest with yourself: Intention(s), Motivation(s), and what something is Objectively. Hold yourself to a standard and thus a goal.
This now marks my Sunday where I have to watch the last sunday video then today Sunday for my learning
Really interesting, we all face those bias at some point without even realising it. Good tips to outsmart them!
Easier to pick out the bias' in other people, than yourself. Hmmm, which bias did I just have? Will watch again. Thanks for the post.

Such a good video , Thank you sooo much
thank you!
Please, please, please... I need to know whose voice is this. It's just perfect 👌🏽
Very nice informative video.
I am reading this things from the book ' Art of Thinking Clearly' but I need to understand things more clearly. This video helped me pretty much.
Oh man I've just been loving your videos! Thanks for the awesome viewing content 😁
Very Very nice, thank you for inspiring me to do my own thinking and acts upon true reason
Cognitive biases
- systematic errors in thinking
- mental shortcuts to making decisions
- information filter
1. Self serving bias - people protect their ego and self esteem
2. FOMO - fear of missing out, making people scared they're being left out
3. Gambler's fallacy-
Thank you for your videos!!
Glad you like them
Excercise should be in moderation.
There should be balance between resting and excercising .
Work-life balance is important for sustainable development...

btw Keep Up the Good work! I have subscribed ! :)
Everything comes from curiosity ma'am first we think about something and search about that
Appreciate your videos!!
great video👏👏
Can you do a video for the rest of them please
Why are there so many instincts and natural brain functions that used to help us, but now hurt our lives in the modern world?
It can also be biased taht people in the back had a good life with biases
1 gambling fallacy 2 narration 3 survivor bias 4 planning fallacy 5 halo effect 6 anchoring 7fomo 8 external 9 self serving bias 10 short term view
7 , 8
nice
This reminds me of Daniel Khaneman
Hmmmm.
Not every bias is negative.
Some can be life saving.
Yes most of them since the world cam into existence
You're right. They were both late because they were both disorganized! LOL

Sorry women's are biased to high price and have pressure find perfect things
Well,journalist nowadays suffer from narrative bias syndrome..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else seeing these stupid ads? 🙄
1st
first 5 bias are useless
the next 5 are good
