Just my thoughts #0821

Emotions : The human brain is mainly connected to emotion-related circuits rather than logical circuits involved in comparison, prediction, reasoning, and judgment. It’s believed that developing circuits for logic and reason is necessary for intelligence , but actually, human judgments and decisions are controlled by emotion-related circuits. Humans need a variety of emotions to think clearly and make well-informed decisions. Inspiration comes from emotions. To succeed in business and invest wisely, you must be emotionally resilient . Emotions need to be active to feel and respond to crises effectively. This is also why you should have abundant access to art . Emotions evolved to be advantageous for human survival. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0039

The Anchoring Heuristic In 1974, Tversky and Kahneman divided two groups and asked one group to calculate the value of "8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1" and the other group to answer the question "1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8" immediately. The average calculation result of the first group was 2,250, and that of the second group was 512. For both groups, the original answer is 40,320, which is the same. Although they multiplied by the same number, the first group multiplied by the order of the larger number, resulting in a higher baseline adjustment, while the second group did the opposite. When we judge and make decisions, the reference point determines the extent and direction of our illusion. When we live, we have to deal with these fallible human beings. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
