Here’s one of my favorite jokes: a guy is walking home late at night, when he sees a drunk looking in the grass under a street lamp. The guy asks what the drunk’s doing. “Looking for my keys,” the drunk says. The guy takes pity on the drunk and decides to help him look for his keys. They search the grass for about 20 minutes, and finally the guy tells the drunk that he doesn’t think his keys are there.
This topic is so close to my heart and I agree 100%. I've given talks on this effect and then I share some tools that are meant to help shine lights in the darkness, by helping people structure how they think about uncertainty. The link below starts the talk about 8 mins in, at the Light Switch effect section.
Happy to hear the repetitions were a glitch and I hadn’t missed some deeper meaning.
Good writeup - although it looks like the text got duplicated somehow?
Thanks, and looks like you're right :/ . Just fixed it.
the joke is still duplicated, I just refreshed (maybe substack has a caching bug, who knows)
No longer duplicated on my end...
