I have to say that I love being able to watch videos like this that use examples. I started an informal logic class for my bachelor's degree and it helps me to understand things so much easier! hello from Houston.

Great content, thank you so much for uploading some of the only stuff worth watching out there on KZfaq.

Wow.... I would love it if you made more examples such as the one at the end. It was really eye opening for me.

I have read through and referenced that Wiki list many times in the past. The number of cognitive biases is overwhelming indeed.

I have seen about half a dozen of your video clips and have enjoyed the content. especially this one...I hope that developing a critical thinking mind will help each of us willing to challenge the onslaught of persuasion in the 'marketing' world of life. keep up the good work.

I love your channel, you are the reason I am passing this philosophy reasoning class

Beautiful. I'm using this a lot. Thank you.

Great video.. I really like your explanations.

"Logic should be taught at school level just like maths and other subjects." What he means is that things such has critical thinking should be taught alongside the core subjects that are taught today. He's not literally saying the courses should be the same. The words "Just like" can be used in different contexts.

Simply excellent. Thank you

Excellent video, thank you.

Thanks for the video, looking forward to future videos. Greetings from Finland!

The 'List of cognitive biases' is one the best articles in Wikipedia. Thanks for posting !! Long live critical thinking.

Thank you for an amazing video. Your presentation was very clear and to the point. Gets the point across really well. Keep up the good work :)

Your videos are great!! Congratulations!!

Kevin deLaplante Good day, good sir. Would you be able to recommend a particularly lucid and fairly comprehensive book on the cognitive biases for the layman? Thanks.

good job!

This is really an amazing video.

Hey Kevin, I had a question "Have you got any physical product which could let people learn about cognitive biases without referring on internet again and again?" Hope you reply soon. Thank you.

Anchoring: The formula is as follows: 1. Gain trust 2. Lie (incl. to mislead) 3. Get the result I wonder how this would have worked without step 1....

Thanks

Another absolutely brilliant video. Why aren't more people subscribed to you?

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm working on new ones ...

very interesting

Great podcast, I really enjoyed the last example. Keep up the awesome work!

5.)His argument : I am by default a non-christian because I enjoy listening to Metal music.(perhaps more a fallacy) 6.)Believes he contributes the most and deserve the most credit in film group-studies and tasks. 7.)Thinks the country he is moving to is much better than the one he resides in at the moment ,even when he never seen them (both)...etc etc I think a possible correlation between his egocentrism ,under-bragging tactics,dis-ability to do self-research, perhaps encourages such thinking?

7:15 .... the questions asked require an answer of less than or more than, not a number.?!? Given a person who has no idea about the answer, the probability of the answer being somewhere between 11 and 100 percent is far greater than being between 65 percent and 100. That is what would lead to more answers of "greater than" in the first example, and less than on the second. Where are you asking for a specific percentage except in the prepositional question? For example "what percentage of clovers have 4 leaves? Is it higher or lower than 30 percent?" One need only expect an answer of "higher than" or "lower than". Any research could only report the percentage of less than or greater than answers. Your roulette example...again...!! The question is asked what percentage? Then is it less than or greater than?" at which point the first question becomes just an introduction. A bit of framing. At that point, since the only answer required is less than or greater than, a disposition towards probability kicks in. If I am seeing 80 I will guess less than. If 20, I will guess more than. 50? who knows, then its a coin toss.

It's good except for the bit that credits evolution.

@Steve2323ZX 'our egos', the masses ego's? some under go this inspection voluntarily and necessarily .. ^_^

Some children would also require better parenting.I think lack of good parenting can affect decision making.

Couldn't you be biased and still make good decisions especially since we are all biased.

hello miss mejia

K.I.S.S because now I feel stupid

Now it kinda bugs me how many African nations ARE UN members then. xD I'm pretty sure that most of them are, though... I'd guess at least 90%? *off to check* Looks like it's practically all of them except Western Sahara which is a disputed territory. At least according to my quick googling.

I stopped listening for a few minutes to respond to a fallacy. Hurt your credibility when you said "everyone agrees . . ." I WISH! Plainly you're working towards a noble goal, but if you're going to make general statements, please keep in mind that "perfect practice makes perfect..." :P Got my attention back on heuristic, back to rewind. Less chaff, more wheat!! Time, sir! You must have more than me, and I have a lot. Aim at the targets of your communication.. LOVE that wiki page, BTW.

people dont like to think, you know that lol

West Wing ftw!

This explains Trump.
