Episode 2725:
Explore the profound impact of cognitive biases on our decision-making processes, especially in high-stakes scenarios like financial investments. This episode, inspired by a Mad Fientist article, delves into everyday examples and psychological experiments that reveal our subconscious preferences for risk over certainty, influenced by how choices are framed.
Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.madfientist.com/cognitive-bias/
Quotes to ponder:
"If the problem is framed as a loss, as it is in the island #1 scenario, we become risk-seeking."
"Your brain is useful when setting up an investment plan but it’s not useful when you execute that plan."
