Things get weird when you think like this…

I really liked how each example was strung along by a continuing story.

we are being influenced beyond our own recognition, it’s impossible to know what choices are yours alone

0:13 The anchoring effect 2:17 the halo effect 3:48 the mere-exposure effect 5:14 confirmation bias 6:37 selective confirmation bias 6:49 bias blind spot

We'll never become the sole driver of our minds, of ourselves. But we can, perhaps, become a more observant passenger.

its amazing that we can be aware of such things but be unable to change them while change is also a constant fuel for life.

The timing of this video is divine, i almost made a horrible decision

1) anchor effect 2) halo effect 3) mere-exposure effect 4) confirmation bias 5) bias blind spot

This is why I try to form strong opinions on personal experiences only. I take what others think with a grain of salt. To understand that I may very well be wrong in all my assumptions, and to never try to convince others of my beliefs because of it. If I’m asked I will share my opinions with the reasons I hold them. They can then form their own conclusions with the information. Get ready to not be liked by many people. I’ve found most people don’t like it when they can’t put you in a box. They need to easily “understand” you or they won’t try. They need to make sure you are on “their side”. People love labels and boxes.

Please make a video about your team so we can honor them. Thanks for all the videos over the years <3

The stoics say what stands in the way becomes the way. Camus says things are meaningless. Absurdity is something to revolt against. Acceptance is the key to serenity today. Live in the moment.

I read both your books: The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence and The Art of Living an Absurd Existence. I have never in my entire life read anything that I have been able to resonate with as much as these books. I suffer from childhood sexual trauma with abusive parents and it has affected my sense of meaning and purpose in life so greatly to where I could not find any for many years of my life. I am now in my late 20s, and I have found solace in your essays and philosophy through your books, and it has drastically changed my perspective and interpretation of things. I am now able to experience my existence with less pain, more wonder, and gratitude than I have ever been able to. I wanted to write this post to say thank you for the work you put into your passion, I am now able to heal from these tremendous wounds that have been afflicted on me from such a young age. From my perspective, you are doing incredible work for people that really need it. 🙏

"A more aware passenger." I like that.

Biases are the mental shortcut. Our brain uses to deal with the complexity of different situations. But there is not only the thing that they are bad. But they can be beneficial too if you think about it.

Right, human desire to classify and name things, real or imaginary. Just live your life however you want, there is no right way to do it. Enjoy it while you can.

Every once in a while, you realize some shit is going wrong but not exactly what is going wrong

And this is precisely why our environment and how we treat ourselves and others is of the utmost importance for our species.

Sorry, your bias-explanation has a bias towards being able to realize biases, and understand that you're affected by these biases, hence circling back to being biased. So, I don't trust you. Or myself?

We are in denial about being in denial. Our own brains manipulate our own brains. Relationships are two insecure individuals that use and tolerate each other for their own selfish needs and wants all for the fear of being alone. They are all toxic on some level and narcissistically controlled by one. This is not love and this is no way to live but most and many do out of fear. All relationships are full of lies, deceit and manipulative manipulation due to hate which comes from fear. Everything we do is out of fear. If everyone truly knew what everyone was thinking then no one would have any friends and relationships would not be a thing. Trust no one

Your videos had helped me in my dark phase of my life. Currently, not so good happening but still i have recovered from where i was. Lots of love❤. Thank you 👍🏻😊

"Discipline. Consistency. Deadlines. Creativity. Reflection. Repeat." --an award-winning author Study hard. Do your work. Get educated, trustworthy opinions about stuff. Make the best decisions you can. That's all you can do. YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING, but that doesn't mean you need to trust the first sign of information about something. Do the research, double-check things, and use logic! It's actually not that hard, but it does require efforts. You can't go on auto-pilot.
