Cognitive Biases

Per Wikipedia, cognitive biases are tendencies to think in certain ways that can lead to systemic deviations from a standard of rationality or good judgement.

It's not about you

  2. Having the self-confidence to admit to them
  3. Being courageous about making changes

You can't really describe the accuracy of a buggy program by the percent of questions it gets right; if you ask it to do something different, it could suddenly go from 99% right to 0% right.  You can only define its behavior by isolating what the bug does.

In the past, a younger me no doubt would’ve reacted with angry defensiveness to some of these experiences. Nowadays, I am armed with the above two rules, so I let myself be uncomfortable about my mistake. I then asked for an alternative that wasn’t ableist.

People wring their hands over how to make science relevant and accessible, but newspapers hand us one answer on a plate every week, with the barrage of claims on what’s good for you or bad for you: it’s <a href="http://www.jameslindlibrary.org/testing-treatments.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">evidence based medicine</a>. If every school taught the basics – randomised trials, blinding, cohort studies, and why systematic reviews are better than cherrypicking your evidence – it would help everyone navigate the world, and learn some of the most important ideas in the whole of science.

I once attended a workshop where culture was defined as the “collective programming of the mind” that distinguishes one group of people from another.

This article also includes what the author calls the <a href="http://www.janinesmusicroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/iceberg.jpg">Cultural Iceberg</a> - the tip of the iceberg being the outward trappings of our cultures, and everything below the water being the true bits of culture that occur.

Paradox of choice

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice">The Paradox of Choice</a> is the concept that the more choices you give someone, the harder it is for them to overcome anxiety to make a decision. It was introduced by Barry Schwartz in the book <a href="http://amzn.to/2opX8y6">The Paradox of Choice - Why More is Less</a>.

Relationships and sex and all that

Relaxation and its necessity

Rewards, motivation, and habit building
