    I experienced “the curse of knowledge” while raising my son. I would get upset with him when he does certain things. Only later to understand that he doesn’t know the things I know and that he’s in the process of learning, so have patience and teach him right from wrong

    I am immediately liking this simply bc you got right to the info instead of some long drawn out backstory
  • Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked. Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.

    The actual reason why I find such videos helpful is it brings awareness to what things exist which pique my interest so that I can research aabout them deeper later.

    Hi Guys, I just wanted to give a shoutout to The Paint Explainer channel for the inspiration behind this video. Not totally sure if they're the pioneers of this style of videos, but it's important to give credit where it's due, right? Hope it was a useful video.
  • @zc1312
    Zooming out, the reason why this information isn’t more widely known/taught is because this is literally how a lot of industries use these as psychological tactics to make more profit (in my experience/opinion).

    I did not know that I had a psychological trap until now. Sunk Cost Fallacy, this may have helped me change my perspective in life. Thank you
  • The insights shared here are eye-opening! Recognizing the ostrich effect in myself, and understanding how the contrast effect, Ikea effect, and other biases impact decision-making, is truly enlightening. It's a powerful reminder to approach choices with awareness and to seek objective perspectives. Thanks for shedding light on these psychological principles!

    The ostrich effect is when you ignore the uncomfortable information that the ostrich bird doesn't burry its head in the soil/sand, and you continue to believe this expression as stating the truth.
