Effects of Ownership. It refers to valuing what one owns from one’s own perspective. The competition to buy tickets for the Duke University basketball game was very fierce, so the university decided to distribute tickets through a lottery. Some students applied for the same ticket, and among them, the winning students and dropout students were asked about their valuations: the winners were asked how much they would sell the ticket for, while the dropout students were asked how much they would buy it for. The lowest selling price from the winners was $2,410, whereas the highest buying price from the dropout students was $170. The difference was substantial. When asked why they thought so, ticket holders considered the value of giving up the ticket, while ticket buyers considered the value of exchanging cash for it. In other words, possession represented the benefit of sacrificing something else. Value judgments depend on what we own. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A lifetime of tuna is about 10 years. They don't have any muscles to suck the water up and constantly have to be moving their bodies to breathe in the water. So, they can not be sleeping or resting a lifetime of tuna. Even going to sleep, tuna must keep on moving in a sleep-like state until their deaths, if they stop moving, they will be dead soon. According to the attribution, tuna can swim in water at over 100 km/h speed, they need so many other fishes as foods to supply the wasted energy for this fact. The tuna is paid for the huge price of becoming a top-rated predator. But I'm not a top predator, so why do I eat so much? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
