It is great to see you back around here! Where have you been during those long months? Will you also reinitiate your debunking Tuesday series (maybe it was a Thursday series, I do not remember well and I am too lazy to check in your profile) :D
the tendency to be more anxious to avoid losses than to make profits of comparable value
I totally agree with this!
These thoughts exist and it is important to take them seriously. A sweeping condemnation with the indication that such people are just some right-wing conservative conspiracy types after all, is not very effective. Instead, it is worth considering the second basic assumption of behavioural economics: a dichotomy that Kahneman describes as "System 1" and "System 2"
A condemnation is very bad in the sense one cut all options to dialogues. If we want mentalities to evolve, discussions are highly needed, to explain people where are the flaws in the thinking. We need also to emphasize the fact that the planet does not need two or three persons doing a lot, but millions doing a little.
Trying to find myself. Literally. I needed a lot of time to think, reflect, read and deal with my mental health issues. I was figuring out what kind of purpose I'm after. Don't think I have an answer, yet, but at least I have some new ideas to think about.
Not sure about that. I still really want to create videos at some point, but this is merely a vague idea. Maybe I will pick it up again, if I decide to do so.
I agree. But this is easier said than done.
No matter how clever or rational you think you are: a good argument will usually never be as convincing for you as a good story. That's a hard truth we all have to accept, that's why alt-right and conspiracy content creators are often so much more successful and the only way to pull people back is by telling them the better story.
It is indeed easier to say. However, there are always ways to do a little something. A.L.W.A.Y.S. It is hard to me to admit that we need a story for that. But you are right, it is so easier to ignore things.
