I’m an idiot -- and you should be, too. Sometimes.
Thinking is hard, and thinking with a free, open mind might be the hardest thing of all. The Einstellung Effect can create cognitive illusions that blind us to different points of view. It prevents us from seeing simpler solutions or alternative ways to solve a problem. And the more we know about a given topic, the stronger the Einstellung Effect can be.
Psychology, math, and every other field is subject to Einstellung, and it’s why heroes often appear from completely different disciplines. Because a fresh set of eyes isn’t bound by a given set of knowledge, they see something in a brand new light. What’s impossible to trained professionals can be obvious to someone who’s inexperienced.
The Einstellung Effect might be the ultimate psychological paradox: the more we know, the stupider we can be. And the stupider we are, the more we can know.

I've heard an interesting story once, I live in a farming community. There was a farmer who had three sons. Two of them went off to college and one of them stayed home and took care of the farm. Of the two that went to college, one went to business school, the other into agriculture. After graduating, the son who went into agriculture came back home. He preformed many tests on the soil and came up with a plan to triple their profit by planting a new crop that the family never grew. The brother who'd stayed home didn't like this idea. The father seeing them argue with one another smiled and said "Well why don't each of you take half the farm and do what you want. We can decide things next year when we see the results. They both reluctantly agreed. As the year went on the each son did their own things, the one who went to college grew his crop which had mostly shriveled and died he ended up taking a loss. The other son did things as they always had and ended up with enough profit to cover the loss, though just barely. Overall the third son had to help them through the winter. Utterly humiliated and embarrassed the educated son seeked his father for advice asking why his plan had failed. His father responded with an "I'm not sure, but we've never been able to grow those kinds of crops here." Surprised he asked "then why did you let me grow them in the first place?" His father replied "Well there's two reasons, if I hadn't let you fail then you never would have learned, also you may not have had a good relationship with your brother because of that, you need to work together. Second, because you might know something I don't, you might be able to succeed where I failed. You're brother is stuck in his ways, just as I had been at that age, but I have since learned to open my mind and be more reasonable." From that day forward whenever the brothers had a dispute, the educated one wanted to try something new, they would result to splitting the farm. Over time the educated brother helped to increase efficiency and profit several tines. The uneducated brother learned to open his mind to more possibilities and all three brothers began working together to maximize efficiency and profit.

I noticed this at uni. My theoretical physics partner who I solved the weekly problem sheets with was actually from the maths department and she said she didn‘t get the meaning of the lagrangian. She was far better than me when it came to handling the formulas while I was more interested in what they actually mean. I got sick once and she had to do the problem set alone and we got an almost perfect score. But then she admitted to me that she had no idea what the hell she was doing. It was mostly automatic for her. That was quite shocking tbh.

A lot of time those failures in basic stuff is all I focus on. But if I really think about it, my intelligence, creativity and open mindedness/ability to understand very stigmatized people are huge blessings. Unfortunately I'm cursed to be unable to apply them in any useful way :/ I have way wider and deeper knowledge than a typical undergrad, but nothing to show for it. Definitely get depressed at times.

5:00 The *Einstelllung* effect might have an equivalent in Machine Learning, known as *overfitting.* Overfitting is when an algorithm arrives at a solution which closely fits the training dataset, but doesn't generalise to other data. This sounds like what happened to the people who became fixated on using all 3 cups to solve the problem. Love your videos! 👍

@michaelbuckers 4 ай бұрын
No that's not it. Overfitting is basically memorizing the quiz answers without comprehending the questions. AI has no capacity to comprehend anything, it has to memorize things. With generous enough model & training settings, it can have sufficient resources to simply memorize the whole dataset. The model design is about giving it only just enough resources to memorize basic reliable patterns so it can guess the answers correctly.

I think the question is misleading, you give trust to the questioner to give you a question that is not inherently wrong and as such you assume that survivors MUST be buried. If the questioner started with a "should we bury the survivors?" question, then the problem would be solved immediately. Sometimes the question itself is wrong, leading us to wild conclusions.

Great video! Reminds me of a line I heard from I don’t know where: “sometimes the portion we see blinds us to the portion we do not see.” It’s the nature of our ignorance that what we don’t know is invisible to us, even to the point that our brains have evolved to keep things invisible because they those things remaining invisible is reproductively expedient. What we know is limited, what we don’t know is infinite.

IMHO, it's a balance. Seek to learn new things, find patterns, go as far as you need to complete your goals. BUT also treat everything like you are learning it for the first time. Don't get caught up in what you think you know. When intelligence is a shortcut, you've gone to far. Unfortunately, you will never know when you should be relying on what you know, or starting from scratch. The simple act of participating in a puzzle (eg life's conflicts) becomes confusing and frustrating. It's deeply uncomfortable to understand the possibility that what you know might not be right, all the time. But you will always go further because if you knew what you needed to know, then you will come to that same conclusion, but this time with a greater understandings. And if you didn't know what you needed to know, now you'll be able to see it clearly.

That reminds me of our education system. In math class, I always learned easy problems and they got progressively harder and harder over time. There was never an exception. So by the time I was about 5-6 years into that, I expected a certain level of difficulty from every homework and every test I would get. That was until our school participated in a math study that contained questions that were a lot easier AND a lot harder than what I was doing at the time. It was a very weird feeling, being confronted with so many easy questions all of a sudden. But real life is exactly like that. Where I work, the difficulties of the problems I have to solve are always unpredictable. And so is the time needed to solve them.

I just missed "you are a bus driver" and like of heard "there is a bus driver" when i was presented this one when i was 10 years old. My brain assumed that part was not relevant and threw it away from memory and replaced with something else. I think it's a different cognitive issue than trying to aligning new concepts into already known patterns. It's more focusing on relevant informations and discarding less relevant ones. But yes, you were exposed to problems before where the individuality of the character is not relevant to the solution, while numeric info is relevant, and continue in the pattern of replacing "ben" "tom" "mum" "you" with just "character A, B, C - not relevant who s/he is, relevant how many s/he has". Maybe a pre scholar 5 years old child is able to solve the riddle because s/he enjoys pretending to be different characters while inventing stories, and will react differently to "you are" and will remember that part!

I tried and tried to no avail and then, one of my friends told me that I could just write 8,675,309 * 1. I remember feeling so horrible about myself for not being able to solve it even though prime factorization would be near damn impossible for a middle school class.

Two things here, it isn't the same thing. The Einstellung effect happens when a person is shown a series of patterns leading to solutions then when one breaks the pattern, the person has trouble solving the problem. It is the same reason people have trouble on certain IQ tests, they are given a several series of numbers and have to figure the pattern, most are easy, every other odd number, then about the 5th or 6th problem, there is not a simple pattern to the numbers and people have a hard time solving it. This is just a big number that overwhelmed a young person. Also, it happens to be a Tommy Tutone song 867-5309/Jenny!!!! Come on!

E extensively covers our everyday cognitive biases, and I found myself falling for so many of them, after being aware of their existence.

For an engineer this is especially important, since we care a lot about efficiency in regards of cost, material and design.

I've always called this "mindset"think as tunnel vision. When you get so focused on something that you stop seeing what's around you and you go down a rabbit hole or a goose chase you didn't need to.

Reminds me a lot of a problem I had recently. Ive been shooting videos of painting and speeding them up a certain amount. I wanted to switch to time-lapse mode which takes a still image at a certain interval but was having trouble figuring out the correct interval to be equivalent to the same speed as before. I was trying to math my way through it. My husband just said "why don't you shoot a minute or 10 of time-lapse and then play it back to see how long the footage is?" GOD did I feel dumb! 😂

wisdom is what you should strive for I only try to remember very important knowledge and throw out the rest with each problem or with anything your doing / trying to learn it is better to ask question after question and always starting with the basics sometimes I will ask myself the same question 10 times and each time try anything to contradict my assumptions

This is interesting... Makes me think of when I was in high school math. I hated memorizing formulas and preferred to figure out each problem new each time. I never learned to rely on formulas and could always see math as math. I could see patterns, learn them, but was prepared for change. It's made learning languages much easier for me 😊
