@cblatts How do you determine if a person is evil? If you can, how do you convince that person that their actions are wrong? If I had to guess, it’s much harder for a politician or a corporate executive to recognize that their actions can have evil consequences than a drug lord
@R_Thaler Second best playoff game in past 10 years. Only game better was Ravens vs Broncos in 2013 where Flacco hit Jacoby Jones on a 70-yard Hail Mary TD to win the game in double OT
@R_Thaler Easier to sell the idea of paying $10/month for the whole service, including the blockbuster movie, rather than charging $10+ to watch the individual blockbuster. So much more perceived value in getting the whole service even if people recognize they only want the blockbuster
@R_Thaler I would argue it has a lot to do with loss aversion. Missing out on the extra point or field goal hurts old-school coaches more than the added satisfaction from a two-point or fourth-down conversion. Also, bad teams are usually bad in part due to bad decision-making from coaches.
@R_Thaler It’s all about choice architecture, Belichick’s advantage has always been removing sludge from player’s decision-making. He sets clear expectations (Patriot Way) and gives specific instruction and feedback to players (film) to eliminate miscommunication and sludge buildup.
