Show Notes:
Dunning-Kruger Effect
Availability bias

“People tend to assess the relative importance of issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memory.” (Kahneman 8)
Plane crashes, murders, and other unlikely events on the news.

Numerator vs denominator


Therefore, “A reliable way to make people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth.” (Kahneman 62)


Confirmation bias

...looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with one’s existing beliefs.
If you believe someone or something is good/bad, you are likely to seek out (consciously or unconsciously) information that reinforces that belief
