One of things I found interesting was how much pressure there is for people not to break norms. (I would have thought it didn’t matter as long as it was not harmful in any way!)

I was reading those links and thought this one was so interesting how none of the people could figure out the pattern was just ascending numbers (they all thought it was number + 2.) That’s true there is no way to “directly” figure out the true pattern it had to be done indirectly.

(Also I’m not sure how everyone gets links to show up, I can just get text to type in the comment box.)

This post made me think that I wonder how these cognitive biases and (I think it is social psychology sort of stuff) how that would affect people’s views on autism, views on respecting people vs imposing decisions on others, etc.

My nephew is 5 & autisic. So I decided to learn something about autism. What blows my mind is I’ve never thought about going to the source; including going to autistic blogs. I’ve just been reading articles in magazines.

What a new perspective this is!

I think I’m going to have to throw out a lot of my assumptions & start over with fresh thinking. I’ve been looking at it from the wrong point of veiw, I think.

Seems there is also overlap to general fallacies but with the fallacy being more a result of personal interference. Some woundology seems to be the negative side of this coin:

which many claim to be better than “MBTI” (which I know a few psychs will swear by)

I was going nuts trying to figure out the name and artist of the painting at the top of the overcomingbias.com blog… it’s not as important as bias, though. Cognitive biases are fascinating, thanks for the links, if you can get an old “Social Psychology” textbook, or a new one… there’s lots of interesting stuff about how people interact and make decisions about each other.
