It is the question of this year’s Nobel prizes: does the award to Katalin Karikó represent a long-awaited spark that will finally correct the decrepit biases in the structures and funding of academic science? asks @pbasken https://t.co/JysbnE7Qje

@YesReallyAngel @GrndmstrFlash Current monthly account fee R5.25 versus the private banking monthly fee of R550. Service still exactly the same. Non-existent.

@YesReallyAngel @GrndmstrFlash I downgraded to a fusion account this year. FNB have a damn cheek to call whatever it is they call “private banking”. It’s appalling.

One of the most underrated traits in life:

Reliability.

You can get pretty damn far by just being someone that people can count on to show up and do the work.

The most Influential Biases on your Decision-Making:

1. Illusion of Skill - We regularly confuse luck with skill because we solely focus on outcomes.

2. Recency Bias - We tend to put too much weight on recent events.
3. Anchoring - Our judgment is heavily screwed by the first information we are given about something.

4. Regression - We love to see cause-effect relationships where none exist.

Everything, always, regresses to its mean!

5. Hindsight Bias - In retrospect, events seem more predictable than they actually were.

6. Halo Effect - You either like or dislike everything about someone or something. Nothing in between.

7. Loss Aversion - Losses weigh twice as much as the equivalent gain.

Because of that, we reject gambles where chance would favor us.

8. Commitment Bias - We have a tendency to remain committed to our past behaviors and opinions.

Particularly when expressed publicly, even if they do not have desirable outcomes.

9. WYSIATI - What you see is all there is.
You can't consider what you don’t know.

Paradoxically, knowing less also increases your confidence about being right.

What Bias did I miss?
