@PhilosophyDose_ Especially in these days of Capitalism, many people kiss up and kick down.

@Mind_Essentials All that matters is what's in your mind. A layman and a trained botanist both view a plant under a microscope, trust me, they'll see different things.

@Mind_Essentials The graph of success is loaded with an infinite number of loops, limited by your own personality.

"I didn’t get a raise because my boss doesn’t like me",
"I got promoted because I worked harder than everyone,"

[Daily Cognitive Biases @1000biases]

"The project went well because of my leadership."

@AlexHormozi Survival wasn’t luck. It was proof of resilience you didn’t know you had.
You’re not made of glass.
You’re made of lessons.

@Mind_Essentials In science we say: "Hypothesize, experiment, iterate🔁."

[Daily Cognitive Biases @1000biases]

It reminds us to question where we attribute our wins and losses, and whether we're truly acknowledging the complex tapestry of factors at play.

THE SEER'S WHISPER AND THE WARRIOR'S ROAR: RAGNAR'S SONS AND THE SELF-SERVING BIAS

A thread 🧵

Nobody goes to the oracle to find out why he is doing well in life. - Ancient African proverb.
Cognitive biases among the earliest humans.

[Daily Cognitive Biases @1000biases]

Their sagas, while ancient, reflect a deeply ingrained psychological pattern that persists even today in our own lives and perceptions of success.

[Daily Cognitive Biases @1000biases]

The Enduring Lesson
Ragnar and his sons embody a powerful truth: humans often seek external answers when faced with fear or failure, but readily claim personal credit when basking in the glow of success.

Their success became a direct reflection of their inherent superiority.

[Daily Cognitive Biases @1000biases]

This is a classic manifestation of the self-serving bias. When outcomes are positive, the credit is internalized. The challenging winds, the enemy's errors, the unseen advantages, all the unpredictable elements that might have contributed to their victory, were overlooked.

[Daily Cognitive Biases @1000biases]

Victories were celebrated with boasts of their strength and ruthlessness.
New lands conquered were a testament to their unrivaled warrior prowess.
Wealth amassed was a direct consequence of their audacity and leadership.

[Daily Cognitive Biases @1000biases]

Why were we so successful? What cosmic forces aligned to grant us this victory?"

No.
Instead, their success was universally attributed to their own might, their cunning, their bravery, and their strategic brilliance.

They sought external validation, a mystical insight to alleviate their anxiety and guide their choices. This highlights a universal human tendency: when we feel vulnerable, we look for answers outside ourselves.
