Another interesting point is that working towards something, like maybe learning a song. The reward at the end is that you now know a new song, and you look back fondly on the process of learning it. Even though in reality, it was probably pretty tedious. This pushes us to learn more. This is likely the evolutionary reason as to why the mind works like this. Because it drives motivation. Which is ultimately what put us at the top of the food chain. The other thing I noted from this video was the idea that the mind takes snapshots, rather than recording the whole experience. While true to a point, I think what comes in snapshots is the ability to remember without a reference. Generally if you specifically ask someone if they remembered any particular point of an experience they will be able to. Even if the memory does not trigger when you simply ask what they remember from the experience as a whole.

I think the bank teller question is tricky because we misread the question. the reader THINKS it means "what's more likely, Bank Teller AND Feminist or Bank Teller AND NOT Feminist?" When what is being asked is really "what's more likely, Bank Teller (either Feminist or Not), OR Bank Teller AND Feminist?"
@NicolasAuvillain 9 күн бұрын
I agree, this has always struck me as a bad question. Given the choices 'Bank Teller' and 'Bank Teller and Feminist', I would read the first choice 'Bank Teller' as meaning "not Feminist", because that's how language works, with context. It seems Kahneman isn't aware of that basic feature of language.

Not only that, but it is logical to say no difference in probability between the 2 options. Consider that a layperson being asked this question has not done a study to determine what the average percentage of people at a feminist protest are feminist, they are being asked to assign some ratio as part of the logic. Most people would just say, it's reasonable to guess that 100% of people protesting for those ideals are also feminist. Same would be if you asked "what is the chance a person who attends a baptist church identifies as a Christian?" Clearly the researchers have made the assumption that there are people who protest at the rally who aren't feminist, but why is that the only rational assumption? Since we have established that Jen is a protester, we could assume that she has a 100% chance of being a feminist, using the assumption of protest attendance that we were kinda forced to make. So the probability of A vs A && B doesn't change if the probability of B is 100%. Tommy is currently enrolled in elementary school. Which statement has a higher degree of probability? 1. Tommy is allergic to peanuts. 2. Tommy is allergic to peanuts and Tommy is't old enough to buy alcohol. A person would only think two statement only have a different degree of probability if they have reason to believe that there are elementary students who aren't allergic to peanuts AND elementary students who can buy alcohol.

I think that’s interesting, though what is meant by discipline can differ. For example, I lead something of an easy life. there are probably people who would look at me and say some variation of unmotivated or lazy. But I keep up on rent, laundry, dishes, hygiene. To me that’s discipline. I’m not much for hard work but I work hard enough to live the life I want. I believe if I pushed myself harder, disciplined myself more, I would lose a serenity that I value deeply.

I agree with the argument "happy ending" but I would consider two more things which are also related to each other. 1- Already leaving your comfort zone the participants of your experiment are leaving their comfort zone by putting their hands in the cold water, so it doesn't matter for them staying a bit longer because they already felt the pain. Imagine, you have to edit a KZfaq video but you don't have enough energy and motivation to do that but once you start, it doesn't make so much difference continue editing for one more hour, if you get a better result at the end aka a better prize. I would say the prize in this experiment for the participants is to be able to hold their hands more. 2 - more stress = more adrenalin and dopamine until a certain point for example doing an exercise causes stress but with that adrenalin and dopamine hormones release which make us happy. It happens also while we are studying or taking cold shower. It means leaving our comfort zone makes us happy, so leaving it a bit further means more happiness until a certain point. In my opinion we also see this effect in your experiment that's why the participants remember the longer version better.

I feel that the bank teller riddle is actually a linguistic problem. It's like in normal every day conversation, asking whether she's a bank teller or a bank teller who's also a feminist implies that if if you pick option one she must not be a feminist, which seems unlikely given her past, but of course, if you consider the question carefully that is not the case. I think the question confounds multiple variables. If you could control for people who don't properly understand the question, like for example if you explained that option one makes only one statement about a person who know very little about, while option 2 is making two statements, both of which have to be true, and you made sure people understood this, then you'd get very different results.

I'm with you on this one. Also, it's not "more likely". Feminism is a part of social justice, which is, by definition, what she's a part of. So it's not that she's more likely, she literally should be as per the definition. And, in fact, when I first heard the question, I was like, "She's likely not a bank teller at all. Working for banks will often make her complicit in social justice issues via discriminatory lending, red lining, etc." And, as I've written above, she's more like to be a feminist bank teller as she would be one to try to "change the system from within", than she would just a bank teller and be complicit in the system. If they had phrased the sentence differently., like, "What's the probability that she would end up as a bank teller versus a bank teller AND a feminist?" That would yield different answers.

This ultimately means that they scale the area of the *intersection* of bank teller and feminist with the probability of *bank teller minus the intersection,* which could make the intersection more likely.

You don't see a 50/50 split, the research paper showed 70/30. That said, the sample size was only like 50, which is extremely small for human studies. So a large sample size of millions might show 50/50. But it's hard to argue with the rest of the video though, even if you feel the science isn't accurate you know that what it's trying to prove is real. It's just difficult to prove.

He is a successful Footballer Hope Sport. You don't want to marry Ronaldo, you might think?! He knew I had Asthma Bronchial. His dog also had Asthma. And only when I started smoking attacks it became 50% less. And the former spouse was generally indignant that there was no asthma. Remission. From 13 to 15 years old, they already gave the Second Disability Group, and this is 25 years of life from the moment. 13(15)+25=39 years (38-40) Doctors speak from Mom. But at the age of five, I almost died from Whooping cough. And earlier, too, the hope of Sports of the USSR was expelled for unsportsmanlike behavior two fights from the school of the Olympic reserve in Gymnastics, but did not tell him about it. For three years there was. Coach alone took away free of charge from the entire kindergarten. On the swimming offered until the scandal subsides to go, but I was offended. Professional straight hope and talent. These are the health consequences of a sharp drop in Professional sports. Do you think he would want to date a girl who Twice Beat, Fought and Beat up her gymnast rival from the Paid Section? When is he an Athlete himself? There is definitely no puppy with flowers. Before that, having scored an arrow on Brawl with his friends for insulting that without a bra in a T-shirt he walks from which he smeared her. So no one else climbed to her. I beat my classmates at school for the cause. And not only Peers at school. 🥴Yes, my hands are weak, and my legs are very strong. And I hit well unexpectedly with a turn of foot.

I think it makes a lot of sense. 1. Knowing the peak of discomfort allows us to judge whether we can go through the same discomfort again. When your goal is not dying, then "how close are you to dying at the worst moment of the experience" is a very good indicator of how bad given experience is. 2. The end is usually the moment when we get a reward for doing something. Therefore we focus on remembering the end of an experience in order to know what kind of reward we can expect for going through this again. Recuding the whole experience to these two numbers allows us much easier processing of events and judging whether we want to take part in them again, while at the same time it preserves most important information about the event.

I had this shower thought quite a while ago, where I figured that adults perceive time faster than children partly because we do less things during the day. A child has less experiences, so anything they do is a new "photograph" in their mind, so they learned and experienced many new things, so the day was perceived as slower. Our mind tracks time in moments and not seconds. If you get yourself focused on the work and use several hours on one thing - it's just a single "moment", a single photograph.

Actually, the cold temperature was the same for both experiments during the first few minutes. However, the second experiment lasted ten seconds longer with less discomfort from warmer water.. The subjects preferred the second longer experiment because its ending yielded less discomfort (even though it was ten seconds longer).

Yep, my feeling is that the first choice, of "bank teller" is interpreted as "bank teller and not feminist" due to the phrasing of the question and the unusual-ness of the format. Who asks a question where one option is completely a subset of the other, in normal life? Questions normally are used to differentiate between two separate things, and if one option gives you a thing the other option wont unless clearly explained otherwise.
@Hinotori_joj 10 күн бұрын
Yeah, when he said it, i thought the second option, because after i heard it, I assumed that the first meant "she's a bank teller (and NOT part of the movement)". While that's an interesting assumption in itself, I don't feel like it was at all because of my mental image of feminism, and much more about how we understand speech and language. (It's very rare that somebody gives you two options that not only aren't mutually exclusive, but one of them entirely includes the other, which I think is why I assumed that wasn't the case). Oh, the article you mentioned says exactly that. Nice.

On the topic of Linda the potential feminist bank-teller: I think the reason that people may get that question wrong is because we mentally fill in a gap that isn't actually there. Our brains interpret the question as "Which is more likely: A) Linda is a bank teller (and not a feminist) or B) Linda is a bank teller and a feminist. The part in parentheses was never actually said, but the framing of the question leads us to expect it and that's the question people answer before thinking about it.

The experiment mentioned here is actually a follow up, which they only made because they effect was so strong they wanted to see if it generalizes even when shown both options.

As someone in chronic pain, I don't prefer pain at all. But if your having pain in a part of your body, applying worse pain in another spot will make the original pain magically disappear. Your brain generally only registers the larger pain input. Say you burn your hand on the rack in the oven while pulling out that pizza. You could stomp on a toe and the pain on your hand will no longer be an issue, as long as the toe pain is greater. However, when the pain in your toe fades, the burn pain will return.

Also in the science vernacular, vegetable is a property denoting that something is edible, but in culinary vernacular it is a type of thing that is categorised by it's use in cuisine. A tomato is a vegetable both culinarily and scientifically, but only in science is it a fruit, a berry, and a vegetable.

In both cases, during the driving, she hated it.

I feel the Linda experiment has a massive flaw. The way language works, people may assume that the lack of explicitly stating Linda is a feminist in option one, vs the explicit statement in option 2, implicitly means that option actually is "Linda is a bank teller AND NOT a feminist". Yes, strictly speaking, that is not included in the statement, but language is often about interpretation and implicit meaning (see the classic "Asbestos free cereal"), and I for one, instinctively arrived at that interpretation. And given Linda's background, when choosing between "Linda is a bank teller and not a feminist" vs. "Linda is a bank teller and a feminist", the latter is clearly more likely. If you were to rephrase the two options as "1: Linda is a bank teller, and may or may not be active in the feminist movement" and "2: Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement", I would very much suspect that most people correctly pick option 1 as more likely. At the very least, I'd argue that such a phrasing would be necessary to remove the ambiguity from this experiment. In my mind, this experiment is more demonstrating the interpretation of language, and less some flawed understanding of statistics. This flaw is also literally IN the Gould quote. He says "She can't JUST be a bank teller". He is implicitly assuming that the bank teller option means Linda is JUST a bank teller and not a feminist.

I remember this one study where people were put in a room for fifteen minutes and had the option to wait out the time doing nothing, or shock themselves, and a surprising amount of people chose the shock. I haven’t watched the video yet so I don’t know if this is relevant to it, but it is certainly an interesting study. Edit: After doing a bit of skimming through the video, I was unable to find a reference to this study. However, I realized that Veritasium did a whole video about boredom a while back, and that actually is where I learned of the study. It’s all coming full circle lol.

Boredom is the greatest agony, and the greatest motivator. Love and fear pale in comparison to boredoms ability to spur us into action

Thats a different experiment for a different concept to the one in this video, that experiment explored how the brain prefers bad stimulus to no stimulus at all in certain situations. This experiment is about how the duration of an event is not remembered, rather the key moments of it, the average experience and the end, meaning a longer duration of pain will be remebered more fondly, so long as there is the slightest drop in pain by the end, which changes the average experience and the end, and provides a key moment of noticing a decrease in pain.

I went for repairing my broken watch, the repair person kept me waited for like one hour and that whole hour I kept cursing him but at the very last moment I got it repaired by him the same perspective changed I was pleasant to see my watch repaired and never remembered the pain of one hour. It's true and i realized only after watching this video.

“Time interval is a strange and contradictory matter in the mind. It would be reasonable to suppose that a routine time or an eventless time would seem interminable. It should be so, but it is not. It is the dull eventless times that have no duration whatever. A time splashed with interest, wounded with tragedy, crevassed with joy - that's the time that seems long in the memory. And this is right when you think about it. Eventlessness has no posts to drape duration on. From nothing to nothing is no time at all.” John Steinbeck - East of Eden

Yeah there's a few red flags in the studies he mentioned just from how he described them. The one that stood out to me was the story of the woman with 5 years extra life. Like it's clearly less favourable because, if she was in a car accident, we associate that recovery with suffering so they'd really have to clarify the quality of life to the participants. Then did they also test the responses if those 5 worse years weren't just at the end of her life. I haven't checked the source but it's still good to question these things.

Veritasium out here lookin’ for the kwisatz haderach… “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” -Paul Atreides

I get microblisters on my hands - a type of eczema. I will give myself 1st degree burns, practically tattoo myself with a sewing needle, or freeze them until they can't move because the new pain wipes out the first pain and is interpreted as relief by my brain. So, yeah, bring on the pain.

Cute dog playing with flowers is at 15:28..... followed by 90s of sponsored content! If I watch the sponsored content then this video is not 'optimized for the end', and I'll have an unconciousably less favourable impressions of the video as a whole. Fortunately I didn't watch the sponsored ad and am therefore more motivated to "like" the video.

Linda Problem was incorrectly worded outside the problem. 8:14 "Linda is a bank teller" is more probable than "Linda is a bank teller and an active feminist" but later 8:55 and 9:46 "JUST a bank teller" can be less probable because "JUST a bank teller" is not an active feminst whereas "IS a bank teller" can be a feminist.

The "just" that he speaks of is describing the mistake people's bias is making. Your bias is telling you that option A) is that she is "JUST" a bank teller, even though the answer available to you said "IS" a bank teller.

It's still true though right? There are more bank tellers than feminist bank tellers (sadly). The intersection of A ^ B is smaller than A - B.

I agree with ImMigrant, both options state that she is a bank teller so you are really just deciding whether or not it is likely she is an active feminist. The addition of the word 'just' is very significant.

Randomness doesn't just refer to mathematical randomness it can also refer to what ww percieve as a chaotic organization as opposed to an ordered one. Saying that boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl is more random is not a "mistake" unless you specify that you are talking about liklihood of occurring and not chaos.

I think the reason is it has higher entropy. People see the second configuration as "mixed together", for which many sequences could represent, rather than just the sequence given. Whereas they see "boys and girls separated" for the first, which fewer sequences represent, so seems less likely.

True, that. But then again, I imagine that if one of these researchers were to take it's time to properly present the question in a way that it is clear and unambiguous to the subject, then they wouldn't observe the results that they were after :P
