Another mind trap is one that happens when I’m having a good experience, i feel the urge to the share it instead of enjoying it for myself. It’s like a shift in satisfaction
I'm trying so hard to not share my good news with anyone too quick bc if it doesn't work out I tend to hide in my shell due to disappointment & embarrassment.
@@user-ut9ln4vd5m Before I was doing everything online I still liked to go to my family and friends in person and share things that were exciting to me.
I relate to this so deeply, but my impression was that this is a natural reaction of a social animal experiencing something tremendous in isolation. I don't see anything wrong with wishing more people could experience the best things. I also wish for no one to feel the bad things I experience 🤷♂️
these things seriously need to be taught to everyone in depth. it’s crazy how much they effect our lives and the entire way our societies can function. Awareness is key
A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man". All right wing memes are strawmen. Then they beg the question In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. And when that fails they will make an appeal to populism, which is the basis of Authoritarian Communism argumentum ad populum (plural argumenta ad populum) (rhetoric) A fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges that “if many believe so, it is so”. Or cry "Fake News" Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, appeal to common sense, or the divine fallacy, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine. The second most common strategy is to gaslight. Gaslighting describes the systematic pattern of abuse by which the abuser manipulates factual information to give the victim the impression that they cannot trust their own senses. They may repeatedly focus on their own feelings in order to make the victim feel guilty for hurting them. Psychologists recognise this as being part of the grooming process seen so often in cases of Child Sexual Exploitation. Strange how every right wing influencer, shitposter, and troll use the same populist rhetoric used by sexual predators to confound their victims, Isn't that just *so weird* The last ditch effort is to Poison the Well... which is a cocktail of the fallacies listed above. Designed to leave the opponent stumped as to which claim to unpack and address, by which time the agent provocateur has moved onto a different talking point or personal attack. That's because Reich Whingers are Bullshivics; Bolshevik, bull, civic-minded, demagogue), a person who gains political power by appealing to individuals feeling's instincts, & prejudices in a fashion that is considered manipulative & myopic; an individual who incessantly reiterates equivalent petty issues, until these are generally taken seriously _There are citizens with valid complaints & issues, but invariably the meeting will have to deal with some Bullshivic & his personal gripe of "supreme importance". America is a People's Democratic Republic with a Constitutional document, just like China, Iran, N Korea and the USSR. Patriotism and Communism are identical phenom, where the Party demands total loyalty, above even truth. "Claim everything, deny everything, explain nothing". Prescott Bush "Deny, Disinform, deflect." Roger Stone "Accuse your enemy of that which you are guilty of" Saul Alinksy "Blame the Victim" Protocol 23 "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984 The Reich Whinge are America's Authoritarian Communist Party "Deflect and distract, never give in, never admit fault, lie and attack, lie and attack, publicity no matter what, win no matter what" Roy Cohn Once you understand these bad faith strategies their nonsense becomes easy to rebuff
2 things that helped me and literally changed my life 1. I stopped watching porn 2. I read the book called 'Become Super Human' on lexnory 3. Stop drinking
Bro u are just feeling that you are overpowered and know the information that others don't and that makes u feel good❤😂 .. But even I am pumped right now !!
Confirmation bias is the most dangerous one in my opinion because you can't make other people see they are under such bias. They might treat you as if you were on the other side of the discussion and push you away, being even more stuck on their bubble. Great video!
Yes, exactly. This is one of the main reasons Americans have begun hating other Americans. "Anyone who disagrees with my political beliefs must be evil, so I won't listen to their evil lies." It's basically the same mental process exploited by cult leaders to keep their adherents trapped. Politicians exploit this to pander to their bases; "The Republicans want to re-institute slavery and make women second-class citizens!" "The Democrats want to outlaw white men and diesel, and make America a third-world country!" "We must reach our fundraising goal by midnight, or America will descend into chaos and death!" Meanwhile, back in DC, the fat cats get rich off insider trading, granting contracts to cousins, and selling DOD secrets to China and Russia. And every single bill that is passed with bi-partisan support is "For the children/poor/oppressed minorities/working class/etc." Here at home, we pay almost zero attention to state, county, city, or school board elections, and wonder why the roads never get fixed, and why they hired a sex offender to be the new gym teacher.
No. confirmation bias is so dangerous, because it's self correcting. We instinctively acuse others of it, before we look at ourselves. It's so dangerous because it's so difficult to confront our own confirmation bias.
Totally agreed, And also this Confirmation Bias lead us to depend on other, and we Lose our belief to us, Self dependents begin to Gone,,,. Note,:Weuse anchors in our daily life, Like i just used some capital letters,Doesn't matter if it is grammatically wrong..
@tricket2701 THEY (Right Wingers/Authoritarians) don't want the history of SLAVERY taught anywhere. They hate the truth being told about them and what they represent. To enslave someone is to enslave the "HUMAN RACE" upon itself. In other words, they will justify enslaving whoever it is they want! ❤️🙏 That's why Critical Race Theory is not to be taught. IT IS ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE! 😮. NOT PEOPLE OF COLOR. 😕
Dude this confirmation bias could give a lot of pain. Thinking that girl likes you based on your beliefs will probably turn out to be dangerous at the end.
- The concept of cognitive dissonance refers to the discomfort and mental stress that arises when two held beliefs conflict with one another. - The Spotlight Effect is the phenomenon in which people tend to overestimate how much others are observing and judging them. - The Anchoring Effect is the tendency to use a starting point or anchor when making guesses or decisions. - Sour Grapes is a term used to describe the phenomenon of reinterpreting a situation retrospectively, creating a new belief that is in conflict with the first belief. - The thinking errors and mental shortcuts in human mind that are hardwired can be noticed and controlled by becoming a more thoughtful and rational thinker. - People tend to choose tails in coin flips even though heads is equally likely, due to the belief in a balancing force in the universe. - The gambler's fallacy, where people believe that a streak of outcomes is due to a balancing force rather than chance, is prevalent in gambling and other decision-making contexts. - Research has shown that the gambler's fallacy can also occur in non-gambling contexts, such as asylum judging and loan approvals. - The contrast effect, where people perceive things differently based on their context or comparison, can influence purchasing decisions. - Confirmation bias, where people actively seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs and ignore information that contradicts them, can lead to narrow perspectives and echo chambers.
Wow, look at all those NuSpeak words. Well, that's how Hitler/Communist roll; they make up fancy labels to accuse others. There's nothing superior than the language of math. Love and War are in math. Not in labels, as if someone is illuminating that which can't be seen with labels. "Oh, you don't understand? It's just a....", "That's just a..." It's like it's a game or morons standing in the lawn pointing up going, "Airplane!" "Awwww they're sooo smart. They know that's an airplane. Well, shit, they're only 31 years old. They gotta feel good about thier lack of intelligence somehow."
I like your stance on Thinking grey. I do this all the time, because when working with people, they ALL have their thoughts, but I keep mine and do things my way as long as it gets done correctly.
Here is an outline of this amazing video: Intro - Our thoughts and decisions are often guided by unseen cognitive biases 21 Cognitive Mind Traps 1. Cognitive Dissonance - When held beliefs conflict, people will reinterpret situations to reduce discomfort 2. Spotlight Effect - People overestimate how much others are observing them 3. Anchoring Effect - First piece of information anchors our perspective and influences judgments 4. Halo Effect - Initial positive impressions of a person or thing outweigh negatives 5. Gambler's Fallacy - Believing future probabilities are affected by past events 6. Contrast Effect - Judgments of something can be altered by the context it is presented in 7. Confirmation Bias - Seeking and interpreting information that confirms existing beliefs 8. Baader Meinhof Phenomenon - Noticing something more after first learning about it 9. Zeigarnik Effect - Incomplete tasks stick in memory more than completed ones 10. Paradox of Choice - Too many choices can lead to decision paralysis Key Takeaways: - We have mental shortcuts and biases influencing us below conscious awareness - Becoming aware of them can help us make more rational judgments - Seeking out contrary evidence and expanding perspectives is important - Having a plan can reduce the Zeigarnik effect - Too much choice can be paralyzing

1st mind trap: "your inability to jump makes the grapes sour." The reason behind this, for what i think is, if you cant get the thing you want... you think that the thing that you wanted is flawed or faulty but rather than confirming the flaw in you, yourself. Real life true eg: i wanted to go in physics field because i had interest or desire. Just like the fox had a desire to want grapes. But, i couldnt get into physics field because of reality of the field being super saturated and less scope and little lucrative. The post i was aiming for was of physicist, and i could have settled for anything other than that but stubornly in physics field. Fast forward 5 yrs later i am graduating from pharma, and i always made sure that everytime i had a thought of "why i am not a physicist?".... I used to tackle it by saying the field and its system has its own problems, and how it is flawed and faulty for me. Just like the fox who was unable to grab the grapes saw fault in grapes being so unreachable or even sour to the extent that i wont even try to reach it again. But, now that i look at it from another angle, by looking at problem or fault that may lie in me... i sense that i was poor in performance as well, and didnt have what it takes to reach that level for physicist or whatever. I saw the flaw in me, and to some extent i could have corrected it by practicing more. Yet, i failed to look at myself and address my part of flaw and always kept comforting myself by dwelling on the blame towards the flaw of system and field. Thus its just how life is... and i would never forget this. #lessonlearned.

Your production quality is so, so high. You do not "set the standard", you flaunt mastery! For the past couple of months, I thought your channel was gone and I kept checking your website and coming back here. Your return is beyond welcome!! (PS PLEASE implement a dynamic progress bar on your channel so your fans can see how close you are to coming back! Credit to the TH-camr James Jani. He does this!)
Yes. The paradox of choice gets me every time when I'm on Amazon trying to get the best deal on something. I usually wear out and abandon the purchase altogether.
Not really. Usually it's the fact that Amazon sells a bunch of the exact same thing from different rebranded Chinese sellers and they are all equally shit. 1 item, or 100, if it's from Amazon and China it will be equally as hard to swallow the pill that you're about to spend money on some Chinese factory garbage.
Same goes for Netflix and the other Streaming providers ^^ you have a big number of titles to choose from, so that you search for a long time and end up watching the Series or Movies you already know. I think there are other psychological effects involved in that which I can't grasp, but what I do notice is unlinke explained in this video where he said that the greater the number to choose from gets above a threshold the more you are gonna be disappointed with your choice, because of the advantages every possibility has. This doesn't apply I think, instead the fear of disappointment in a new series to be bad leads to the choice of watching a familiar series
My mind trap is thinking the worst of every outcome. While this sometimes comes in handy for preparing for an emergency such as a hurricane, worrying about the outcome of something being negative rather than also considering the outcome being positive creates anxiety. This also applies in a way to how you judge people and think the worst of them because of color race religion or some other attribute that you our biased against.
Thank you for sharing this fascinating video about the various cognitive mind traps, fallacies, and biases that exist within our brains. It's true that many of our thoughts and decisions are influenced by factors that we aren't even aware of, and it's important to be mindful of these unconscious biases to make more informed choices. This series is a great resource for anyone looking to better understand the inner workings of their own mind and to overcome the cognitive limitations that can hold us back. I appreciate the effort that has gone into creating this informative and thought-provoking content, and I look forward to watching the rest of the series. Keep up the great work!
Confirmation bias is the most important for almost everyone using the internet. Ive been saying this for years to everyone who identifies with right or left and everyone in general. Its effects all of us including me. But awareness is key
@@Benben-lb2li I don't think so. In fact, there's been a lot of folks I've spoken with offline that believe both sides have good and bad ideas, and that consideration of such things is good. While people might have a preference for say, a political party, having blind faith to one while believing the other is wholly evil is not a good thing. Sometimes, but not all the time, there are benefits to combining ideas or philosophies. Bruce Lee, for example, created Jeet Kun Do by mixing Martial Arts with Streetfighting.
This video is incredible. On the contrast effect… saving the $10 dollars on the bigger purchase would not effect my decision as much as I would be more concerned with the care I will receive after the purchase and the general vibe & feelings of the business etc. I can take the risk of going for a cheaper lunch because if it turns out to be of lower quality it will not affect me down the line (for the most part). With a car or an expensive garment, it absolutely will affect me if the business are not gracious with returns, repairs, advice.
For those interested in this subject I would also highly recommend the book Mental Traps: The Overthinker's Guide to a Happier Life by André Kukla. One of my all-time favorites.
I like your stance on Thinking grey. I do this all the time, because when working with people, they ALL have their thoughts, but I keep mine and do things my way as long as it gets done correctly.
Love how you manage to be so informative and interesting while packing so much into a video! the graphics are excellent as always and help support the content well.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
Amen🙂 I have been talking about my inner conflict of Dissonance for weeks now. It's posted all over my wall. The coincidences that have been arising are making me question my sanity. I love your video and the information you lay out for us.
Glad to hear im not alone in this situation, i hope you are aware and feel confident about the fact that you actually question yourself, as thats the greatest aspect of intelligence (i believe) can't think of anything more helpful for personal development, might be challanging at first, but when u figure out yourself you will be ahead of 99% of the population
This is so helpful to so many. Things that previously I didn't understand how to get out of are made so clear here. for me it was the Zeigarnik effect. I was so overwhelmed with constant to-dos and completing them was never enough. I needed to get them out of my head and into a plan.
Omg finally!!! Waiting for your videos for so long, and sure enough, it’s great as always. Keep up the good work! Everything is dedicated from the video edits, the script to the time you spend on each and every video. Mad respect man!!!
I'm watching 1 mind trap a day and focusing on that one. Yesterday I had the cognitive dissonance tip in my head, and I found out that I do it multiple times an hour! I can't wait to see what other mind traps I will see. thankyou!
Great video. Liked and commenting hoping it gets recommended to more people. People need to understand their own cognitive prejudices and biases, and how the mind generally thinks and feels about things, stuff that is just generally how things work psychologically and neurologically.
Excellent video! Well summarised and animated. This deserves millions of views! The examples in the gamblers' fallacy are true in the short term, but in the long term, probabilities even out with the law of large numbers
The long term for probabilities occurs over an infinite time period. In theory, you could run in either outlier tail for 100 lifetimes. This is what people don't understand.
This is your channel's first video that i have watched and after watching this video i was amazed...... I really appreciate your work. Thanks for meaningful content .keep it doing.
Very well presented, and animated, concepts that should be taught in grade school. Overcoming biases like these holds the key to becoming a happier person.
Everyone including myself is so happy to have you back in our content rotation. Watching/consuming content of this quality is helping all of us instill/affirm/ingrain these positive narratives for our own health/improvement. You’re a blessing. Welcome back
@@GunnerRDS so learning is wasting time? to an extent yes. if you use the "I'm just preparing" excuse yes it can be when you have enough knowledge to begin something. But this is life my man This is not business. this is for people who want to become a better person, and have better judgements, not only with others but also self.
@@GameHub1- It isn't really learning though, it is creating the illusion of progress when in reality it's just more time spent sitting in front of a screen
@@GunnerRDS You're right for the most part. That's the Dunning-Kruger effect kicking in for a lot of people. It's not just TH-cam videos like this, it can be a lot of self help books too, where you think after reading/watching educational and/or helpful material, you feel more capable than before. In reality, it's just a part of you hyping yourself up because it feels good so then there's no need to actually put what you've learned to good use and refine. For example, after having watched this video, I know a few mind traps I should avoid from now on. I feel though now I'm a bit wiser than I was before and that I'll remember to apply everything I've learned thus far at a later date. In reality, I'm overestimating my own capabilities and will most likely just fall for the same said traps as I have before. It'll take a special type of conviction for me to zealously follow whatever I've been taught in this video, something I feel I don't have. It's more educational entertainment for me to pass the time. Some people are aware of this and can look past the feel good feeling after consuming such content, and actually take the effort required to put things they've learned to good use. Though I imagine that would be a minority of people, hence you being mostly right, though not entirely in my opinion.
No bruh- the animation he does takes a damn lot of time.... animation isn't a thing which can be done in just hours or days it takes months and even years to make them.
@@suhie.e I guess he can afford a team . I have used animate and illustrator in the past and to make such videos it'll hardly take 2-3 weeks if two people are working . And even if the scripting part is considered , total time should be 1.5 , 2 months
A Hindu modi worshipper is being disrespectful towards muslims...... And i will tell you something insulting but true... Which is that you and your people are cowards beyond belief.
@@allahlesboslu2_9 @Suhiee I guess that all depends on the person/computer/enthusiasm and perseverance. I could just said know how lol. Either way always give credit too the creators that entertain and teach us.
something that helps me with the second one is recognizing that people don't care about me enough to notice much, and when they do notice, they don't care enough to care
Theres a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. Its not just a bunch of empty promises; its the real deal.
Well it's been a while since I've liked and commented a video but this one deserves it. I thought 20min was going to be too much but after finishing this video I immediately went for the other one. Keep up the good work
17:20 this has the danger of leading to people acting like "enlightened centrists", the most uninformed and ignorant of all voting blocks. Sometimes 2+2=4. There's no middle ground.
11:45 Growing up, I asked numerous adults about this and none had it right. They all posited that the nature of "odds" determined that the combination of heads and tails were more likely than all tails. It is so nice to finally hear the real explanation for this.🎉😊
19:04 - THANK YOU. You articulated what I've been feeling for the past few months, lots of incomplete tasks that were keeping me awake at night. I made a plan for most of them, with the intention of going back to refine it later. It's helped a lot, thank you so much!
@@escaping.ordinary would you please please please tell which software you use for making these types of addictive visually appealing videos? you are an inspiration for me
The narrator's voice is very important too in my opinion, to deliver such intricate subjects effectively. This person has super good articulation and a positive vibe !! Subscribed without any question ! Love and best wishes from Singapore.
The videos are so informative and the concepts are always tied with examples which assist the grasping process perfectly. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!
I used memory technique of creating a story/images that revolves around each effect as I progressed through the video, and I was able to recall each one of them correctly! Yes the beautiful and bold graphics helped me a lot. I am so happy ^_^
Wow, brother! What a great way to learn this. I love the jaw dropping visuals and the simplicity of your examples. I can't wait to buy the cards when they are available. Congratulations!
This is a brilliantly presented confirmation. As a person who's trying to get a master's in linguistics this really helps with my psycholinguistic subjects and studies!

I want to thank whoever made this video it’s amazing to be able to come on here and learn like this I feel like I can save myself a psychology degree 🙏
Very well made video. It astonishes me how many people haven't noticed these patterns in their thought processes. Daily, I think, everyone should sit alone, quietly and try to figure out how their thoughts work. It is not hard and gives a lot of peace.
I had heard quality over quantity , and no doubt the quality of your videos is top notch , but this time the wait was too long . Good to see you back in action 😄
The last one is very important. I have been telling everybody how supermarkets make me anxious because there is so much to choose from, and its unnecessary. Its ten times easier to go to local shops with a couple of choices.
That's fascinating because every time I go to the supermarket I am disappointed and annoyed at how FEW actual choices we have when it comes to food. I think there should be at least 4 times more.
This was very insightful, it's also a very good tool to fine tune one's own behavior and induce thirst for knowledge and better understanding. Our ignorance and inability to weight things accordingly are usually invisible to us.
Dude a teacher in class was trying to explain cognitive dissonance but I just couldn't get it. But the way you explained it helped me understand lol thanks.
There are so many more interesting “mind traps” and biases that I love. I wish they could do a video on: 1. Mere Exposure Effect 2. Proximity Effect 3. Habituation 4. Loss Aversion 5. Learned Helplessness 6. The Framing Effect 7. Blame Shifting 8. Diffusion of Responsibility 9. Optimism Bias 10. Bandwagon Effect 11. Place Attachment
These are good points. Regarding the Baader Meinhoff phenomenon, it is known by some that once you learn something or have a new experience, that new knowledge or experience will start to show up more, not as a coincidence but because you were meant to have that experience or knowledge and repeat it until you learn the lessons from it or you know the information well enough. Everything happens for a reason. It’s not just a phenomenon, it has meaning behind it. When you see repeating numbers, words, events, etc in your life there is a reason for it, because it is messages from source to you. It is trying to communicate with you.
The most important thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
This is madness, for several reasons. Here are two, extemporaeously: 1) The example of 10,000 years of human civilization strongly suggests that stable government is required for the smooth functioning of any human society larger than a couple hundred people, and without it nothing you "own" will provide any protection for you whatsoever. You think gold can buy security? Only until your bodyguards decide that they'd rather have it for themselves. Or until somebody with *more* gold fancies that he'd like to add yours to his pile. 2) Whereas gold and silver can be materially useful and are basic atomically stable elements of nature that don't physically deteriorate on any human time-scale, digital currencies are about as durable as Beanie Babies, and of even less inherent utility, because they're tied to the wholly artificial scarcity of ephemeral and inherently valueless imaginary "objects." They might *mimic* commodities, but are in fact abstractions of zero practical value to anyone. They're nothing more than NFTs whose worthlessness is concealed behind mathematical structures that almost nobody understands. They're the equivalent of the rules of a game ... If nobody feels like playing, they become meaningless, and the game ceases to exist. At least, whenever I've asked why cryptos have any intrinsic value at all, I've never received an intelligible answer that relies on anything more than fuzzy hopes and childish resentments. And good luck trying to cash them in if a solar flare knocks out the global electrical grid for a year; when that happens, I'll have far more trust in an extant government of my fellow humans than in the nigh-impenetrable zero-sum game-theory that is blockchain pseudo-currency. Also, ponder this: If the government of, say, Germany were to collapse overnight and the country to descend into violent chaos, the world's confidence in democracy would be shaken to its core, and all manner of crises would erupt all around the globe. If, on the other hand, the value of a Bitcoin dissolved to nothing overnight, the vast majority of the world would say, "Yeah, that makes sense, it always seemed shady" and enjoy ten minutes of schadenfreude before forgetting about it and carrying on with their day as normal. The greatest victims of crypto collapse would be money launderers, and, well, good.
Great job! I love your videos and i look forward to watching more of them.❤ I hate reading and even though i tried reading some books I had to force myself to do so. It was a really boring and exhausting experience . Now I realize the content of those books wasn’t the problem that I didn’t continue reading. Your voice even makes focusing and understanding easier.

I dont think anyone understands the power of this video. Understanding these things can completely change your outlook on life when you really sit and think about it. These things occur everyday right in front of our faces as we know it. This will definitely help me understand situations, and the outlook of them a lot better. I spent my whole life mad at the world on why I dont understand why I feel the way I feel about A LOTTTTT of situations. But this is literally a CHEAT CODE. this channel is a literal bible. And when I make it, I will do everything I can to make sure anyone I help out, or influence, notices this channel. Great Job My man.
Mind trap 5 "Gambler's Fallacy" is interesting because the chances of rolling 4 same sides in a row is 1/16. I think mathematically it makes sense switching it, although rationally one should acknowledge that the present coin toss is still 1/2.
It is very interesting! And I had to pause the video and think about it. In mathematics, the probability for a coin toss is 1/2^n , where n is the number of times in a row you have to guess it correctly, or the length of the sequence. It applies when guessing BEFORE any tosses. The difference here is that the previous flips weren’t part of the sequence. Probability is for predicting FUTURE flips in a sequence, the ones that happened already are irrelevant. It took me a second to think through that, but it makes sense.
That last one hit me pretty hard 😂 I often find myself agonising over the pros of another choice and end up being not too satisfied with the decisions I've made.
Happy to see some new videos!!! I happen to watch your automatic habits summary few months ago and I love it!! Look forward to watch more videos in your channel! ❤
I love listening to videos like this, astronomy and science videos while I’m at work. It’s satisfying knowing that I’m learning something while doing something so mundane. The silver lining to going to work 😅 🤷🏻♂️
Man, I had to pause after #1 to re-evaluate my life. "You can play the clever fox all you want - but you'll never get the grapes that way." That really threw me for a loop.
Mind traps are also known as 'thinking errors', 'negative automatic thoughts', or 'unhelpful thoughts' because they are often inaccurate, critical, or simply unhelpful. Mind traps can consume your thinking, including what you pay attention to, and impact how you feel, and your decision-making and actions.
Another mind trap is one that happens when I’m having a good experience, i feel the urge to the share it instead of enjoying it for myself. It’s like a shift in satisfaction
I'm trying so hard to not share my good news with anyone too quick bc if it doesn't work out I tend to hide in my shell due to disappointment & embarrassment.
Exactly bro... I always feel that extreme urge to share that experience.
That wasn't a problem before sharing everything online became a compulsion... I mean _became a possibility_
@@user-ut9ln4vd5m Before I was doing everything online I still liked to go to my family and friends in person and share things that were exciting to me.
I relate to this so deeply, but my impression was that this is a natural reaction of a social animal experiencing something tremendous in isolation. I don't see anything wrong with wishing more people could experience the best things. I also wish for no one to feel the bad things I experience 🤷♂️
these things seriously need to be taught to everyone in depth. it’s crazy how much they effect our lives and the entire way our societies can function. Awareness is key
I see people falling for these on social media every day. There's so much misinformation, especially around health issues.
Affect* You were in the spotlight this fime ;)

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the real subject of the argument was not addressed or refuted, but instead replaced with a false one. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
All right wing memes are strawmen. Then they beg the question
In classical rhetoric and logic, begging the question or assuming the conclusion is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it.
And when that fails they will make an appeal to populism, which is the basis of Authoritarian Communism
argumentum ad populum (plural argumenta ad populum) (rhetoric) A fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or all people believe it; it alleges that “if many believe so, it is so”.
Or cry "Fake News"
Argument from incredulity, also known as argument from personal incredulity, appeal to common sense, or the divine fallacy, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine.
The second most common strategy is to gaslight.
Gaslighting describes the systematic pattern of abuse by which the abuser manipulates factual information to give the victim the impression that they cannot trust their own senses. They may repeatedly focus on their own feelings in order to make the victim feel guilty for hurting them. Psychologists recognise this as being part of the grooming process seen so often in cases of Child Sexual Exploitation.
Strange how every right wing influencer, shitposter, and troll use the same populist rhetoric used by sexual predators to confound their victims,
Isn't that just *so weird*
The last ditch effort is to Poison the Well... which is a cocktail of the fallacies listed above. Designed to leave the opponent stumped as to which claim to unpack and address, by which time the agent provocateur has moved onto a different talking point or personal attack.
That's because Reich Whingers are Bullshivics;
Bolshevik, bull, civic-minded, demagogue), a person who gains political power by appealing to individuals feeling's instincts, & prejudices in a fashion that is considered manipulative & myopic; an individual who incessantly reiterates equivalent petty issues, until these are generally taken seriously
_There are citizens with valid complaints & issues, but invariably the meeting will have to deal with some Bullshivic & his personal gripe of "supreme importance".
America is a People's Democratic Republic with a Constitutional document, just like China, Iran, N Korea and the USSR. Patriotism and Communism are identical phenom, where the Party demands total loyalty, above even truth.
"Claim everything, deny everything, explain nothing".
Prescott Bush
"Deny, Disinform, deflect."
Roger Stone
"Accuse your enemy of that which you are guilty of"
Saul Alinksy
"Blame the Victim"
Protocol 23
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
George Orwell, 1984
The Reich Whinge are America's Authoritarian Communist Party
"Deflect and distract, never give in, never admit fault, lie and attack, lie and attack, publicity no matter what, win no matter what"
Roy Cohn

Confirmation bias is the most dangerous one in my opinion because you can't make other people see they are under such bias. They might treat you as if you were on the other side of the discussion and push you away, being even more stuck on their bubble. Great video!
Yes, exactly. This is one of the main reasons Americans have begun hating other Americans. "Anyone who disagrees with my political beliefs must be evil, so I won't listen to their evil lies." It's basically the same mental process exploited by cult leaders to keep their adherents trapped. Politicians exploit this to pander to their bases; "The Republicans want to re-institute slavery and make women second-class citizens!" "The Democrats want to outlaw white men and diesel, and make America a third-world country!" "We must reach our fundraising goal by midnight, or America will descend into chaos and death!"
Meanwhile, back in DC, the fat cats get rich off insider trading, granting contracts to cousins, and selling DOD secrets to China and Russia. And every single bill that is passed with bi-partisan support is "For the children/poor/oppressed minorities/working class/etc." Here at home, we pay almost zero attention to state, county, city, or school board elections, and wonder why the roads never get fixed, and why they hired a sex offender to be the new gym teacher.
No. confirmation bias is so dangerous, because it's self correcting. We instinctively acuse others of it, before we look at ourselves.
It's so dangerous because it's so difficult to confront our own confirmation bias.
Totally agreed, And also this Confirmation Bias lead us to depend on other, and we Lose our belief to us, Self dependents begin to Gone,,,. Note,:Weuse anchors in our daily life, Like i just used some capital letters,Doesn't matter if it is grammatically wrong..
@tricket2701
THEY (Right Wingers/Authoritarians) don't want the history of SLAVERY taught anywhere. They hate the truth being told about them and what they represent. To enslave someone is to enslave the "HUMAN RACE" upon itself.
In other words, they will justify enslaving whoever it is they want! ❤️🙏
That's why Critical Race Theory is not to be taught. IT IS ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE! 😮. NOT PEOPLE OF COLOR. 😕
Dude this confirmation bias could give a lot of pain. Thinking that girl likes you based on your beliefs will probably turn out to be dangerous at the end.
- The concept of cognitive dissonance refers to the discomfort and mental stress that arises when two held beliefs conflict with one another.
- The Spotlight Effect is the phenomenon in which people tend to overestimate how much others are observing and judging them.
- The Anchoring Effect is the tendency to use a starting point or anchor when making guesses or decisions.
- Sour Grapes is a term used to describe the phenomenon of reinterpreting a situation retrospectively, creating a new belief that is in conflict with the first belief.
- The thinking errors and mental shortcuts in human mind that are hardwired can be noticed and controlled by becoming a more thoughtful and rational thinker.
- People tend to choose tails in coin flips even though heads is equally likely, due to the belief in a balancing force in the universe.
- The gambler's fallacy, where people believe that a streak of outcomes is due to a balancing force rather than chance, is prevalent in gambling and other decision-making contexts.
- Research has shown that the gambler's fallacy can also occur in non-gambling contexts, such as asylum judging and loan approvals.
- The contrast effect, where people perceive things differently based on their context or comparison, can influence purchasing decisions.
- Confirmation bias, where people actively seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs and ignore information that contradicts them, can lead to narrow perspectives and echo chambers.

Here is an outline of this amazing video:
Intro
- Our thoughts and decisions are often guided by unseen cognitive biases
21 Cognitive Mind Traps
1. Cognitive Dissonance
- When held beliefs conflict, people will reinterpret situations to reduce discomfort
2. Spotlight Effect
- People overestimate how much others are observing them
3. Anchoring Effect
- First piece of information anchors our perspective and influences judgments
4. Halo Effect
- Initial positive impressions of a person or thing outweigh negatives
5. Gambler's Fallacy
- Believing future probabilities are affected by past events
6. Contrast Effect
- Judgments of something can be altered by the context it is presented in
7. Confirmation Bias
- Seeking and interpreting information that confirms existing beliefs
8. Baader Meinhof Phenomenon
- Noticing something more after first learning about it
9. Zeigarnik Effect
- Incomplete tasks stick in memory more than completed ones
10. Paradox of Choice
- Too many choices can lead to decision paralysis
Key Takeaways:
- We have mental shortcuts and biases influencing us below conscious awareness
- Becoming aware of them can help us make more rational judgments
- Seeking out contrary evidence and expanding perspectives is important
- Having a plan can reduce the Zeigarnik effect
- Too much choice can be paralyzing

1st mind trap: "your inability to jump makes the grapes sour."
The reason behind this, for what i think is, if you cant get the thing you want... you think that the thing that you wanted is flawed or faulty but rather than confirming the flaw in you, yourself.
Real life true eg: i wanted to go in physics field because i had interest or desire. Just like the fox had a desire to want grapes. But, i couldnt get into physics field because of reality of the field being super saturated and less scope and little lucrative. The post i was aiming for was of physicist, and i could have settled for anything other than that but stubornly in physics field. Fast forward 5 yrs later i am graduating from pharma, and i always made sure that everytime i had a thought of "why i am not a physicist?".... I used to tackle it by saying the field and its system has its own problems, and how it is flawed and faulty for me. Just like the fox who was unable to grab the grapes saw fault in grapes being so unreachable or even sour to the extent that i wont even try to reach it again.
But, now that i look at it from another angle, by looking at problem or fault that may lie in me... i sense that i was poor in performance as well, and didnt have what it takes to reach that level for physicist or whatever.
I saw the flaw in me, and to some extent i could have corrected it by practicing more. Yet, i failed to look at myself and address my part of flaw and always kept comforting myself by dwelling on the blame towards the flaw of system and field.
Thus its just how life is... and i would never forget this. #lessonlearned.

Your production quality is so, so high. You do not "set the standard", you flaunt mastery! For the past couple of months, I thought your channel was gone and I kept checking your website and coming back here. Your return is beyond welcome!! (PS PLEASE implement a dynamic progress bar on your channel so your fans can see how close you are to coming back! Credit to the TH-camr James Jani. He does this!)
Yes. The paradox of choice gets me every time when I'm on Amazon trying to get the best deal on something. I usually wear out and abandon the purchase altogether.
Not really. Usually it's the fact that Amazon sells a bunch of the exact same thing from different rebranded Chinese sellers and they are all equally shit.
1 item, or 100, if it's from Amazon and China it will be equally as hard to swallow the pill that you're about to spend money on some Chinese factory garbage.
So true.
Same goes for Netflix and the other Streaming providers ^^ you have a big number of titles to choose from, so that you search for a long time and end up watching the Series or Movies you already know. I think there are other psychological effects involved in that which I can't grasp, but what I do notice is unlinke explained in this video where he said that the greater the number to choose from gets above a threshold the more you are gonna be disappointed with your choice, because of the advantages every possibility has. This doesn't apply I think, instead the fear of disappointment in a new series to be bad leads to the choice of watching a familiar series
Thanks
Thank you 🙏 appreciated
My mind trap is thinking the worst of every outcome. While this sometimes comes in handy for preparing for an emergency such as a hurricane, worrying about the outcome of something being negative rather than also considering the outcome being positive creates anxiety. This also applies in a way to how you judge people and think the worst of them because of color race religion or some other attribute that you our biased against.

Your channel is one the rarest gems on TH-cam. Truly extraordinary content. Thank you for such knowledgeable and beautifully animated videos!
Thank you for sharing this fascinating video about the various cognitive mind traps, fallacies, and biases that exist within our brains. It's true that many of our thoughts and decisions are influenced by factors that we aren't even aware of, and it's important to be mindful of these unconscious biases to make more informed choices. This series is a great resource for anyone looking to better understand the inner workings of their own mind and to overcome the cognitive limitations that can hold us back. I appreciate the effort that has gone into creating this informative and thought-provoking content, and I look forward to watching the rest of the series. Keep up the great work!

Confirmation bias is the most important for almost everyone using the internet. Ive been saying this for years to everyone who identifies with right or left and everyone in general. Its effects all of us including me. But awareness is key
Enlightened centrist spotted in the wild
@@Benben-lb2li I don't think so. In fact, there's been a lot of folks I've spoken with offline that believe both sides have good and bad ideas, and that consideration of such things is good. While people might have a preference for say, a political party, having blind faith to one while believing the other is wholly evil is not a good thing.
Sometimes, but not all the time, there are benefits to combining ideas or philosophies. Bruce Lee, for example, created Jeet Kun Do by mixing Martial Arts with Streetfighting.
This video is incredible.
On the contrast effect… saving the $10 dollars on the bigger purchase would not effect my decision as much as I would be more concerned with the care I will receive after the purchase and the general vibe & feelings of the business etc. I can take the risk of going for a cheaper lunch because if it turns out to be of lower quality it will not affect me down the line (for the most part). With a car or an expensive garment, it absolutely will affect me if the business are not gracious with returns, repairs, advice.
I started my channel because of this one. Escaping Ordinary is just the GOAT in animations!
For those interested in this subject I would also highly recommend the book Mental Traps: The Overthinker's Guide to a Happier Life by André Kukla. One of my all-time favorites.

Can you list some of those?
Great video. Liked and commenting hoping it gets recommended to more people. People need to understand their own cognitive prejudices and biases, and how the mind generally thinks and feels about things, stuff that is just generally how things work psychologically and neurologically.
Excellent video! Well summarised and animated. This deserves millions of views!
The examples in the gamblers' fallacy are true in the short term, but in the long term, probabilities even out with the law of large numbers
The long term for probabilities occurs over an infinite time period. In theory, you could run in either outlier tail for 100 lifetimes. This is what people don't understand.
This is your channel's first video that i have watched and after watching this video i was amazed......

@@GunnerRDS You're right for the most part. That's the Dunning-Kruger effect kicking in for a lot of people. It's not just TH-cam videos like this, it can be a lot of self help books too, where you think after reading/watching educational and/or helpful material, you feel more capable than before.

For example, after having watched this video, I know a few mind traps I should avoid from now on. I feel though now I'm a bit wiser than I was before and that I'll remember to apply everything I've learned thus far at a later date. In reality, I'm overestimating my own capabilities and will most likely just fall for the same said traps as I have before. It'll take a special type of conviction for me to zealously follow whatever I've been taught in this video, something I feel I don't have. It's more educational entertainment for me to pass the time.
Some people are aware of this and can look past the feel good feeling after consuming such content, and actually take the effort required to put things they've learned to good use. Though I imagine that would be a minority of people, hence you being mostly right, though not entirely in my opinion.
He finally remembered he has a youtube channel 🤣🤣🤣🙌
No bruh- the animation he does takes a damn lot of time.... animation isn't a thing which can be done in just hours or days it takes months and even years to make them.
@@suhie.e I guess he can afford a team . I have used animate and illustrator in the past and to make such videos it'll hardly take 2-3 weeks if two people are working . And even if the scripting part is considered , total time should be 1.5 , 2 months
A Hindu modi worshipper is being disrespectful towards muslims......
And i will tell you something insulting but true...
Which is that you and your people are cowards beyond belief.

@Suhiee I guess that all depends on the person/computer/enthusiasm and perseverance. I could just said know how lol. Either way always give credit too the creators that entertain and teach us.
You better change your youtube handle name. I pity on ur upbringing
something that helps me with the second one is recognizing that people don't care about me enough to notice much, and when they do notice, they don't care enough to care
Theres a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. Its not just a bunch of empty promises; its the real deal.

As someone with schizophrenia, I found this very helpful. Thank you.
Well it's been a while since I've liked and commented a video but this one deserves it. I thought 20min was going to be too much but after finishing this video I immediately went for the other one. Keep up the good work
It's always a treat to see what he does. Finally, what was expected for a long time!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
17:20 this has the danger of leading to people acting like "enlightened centrists", the most uninformed and ignorant of all voting blocks. Sometimes 2+2=4. There's no middle ground.
11:45 Growing up, I asked numerous adults about this and none had it right. They all posited that the nature of "odds" determined that the combination of heads and tails were more likely than all tails. It is so nice to finally hear the real explanation for this.🎉😊
19:04 - THANK YOU. You articulated what I've been feeling for the past few months, lots of incomplete tasks that were keeping me awake at night. I made a plan for most of them, with the intention of going back to refine it later. It's helped a lot, thank you so much!
Every frame in this video tells you so much things.

The narrator's voice is very important too in my opinion, to deliver such intricate subjects effectively. This person has super good articulation and a positive vibe !! Subscribed without any question ! Love and best wishes from Singapore.
I work in the field of psychology & I appreciate the pertinent value of your video. I’m looking forward to watching more. 📚🤓
The videos are so informative and the concepts are always tied with examples which assist the grasping process perfectly. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!
This is absolutely brilliant and thank you for elevating our thoughts with such introspective wisdom
Thanks!
Thank you :) your super thanks donation is appreciated 🙏
Thanks
I used memory technique of creating a story/images that revolves around each effect as I progressed through the video, and I was able to recall each one of them correctly! Yes the beautiful and bold graphics helped me a lot. I am so happy ^_^
Wow, brother! What a great way to learn this. I love the jaw dropping visuals and the simplicity of your examples. I can't wait to buy the cards when they are available. Congratulations!
This is a brilliantly presented confirmation. As a person who's trying to get a master's in linguistics this really helps with my psycholinguistic subjects and studies!

I want to thank whoever made this video it’s amazing to be able to come on here and learn like this I feel like I can save myself a psychology degree 🙏
Very well made video. It astonishes me how many people haven't noticed these patterns in their thought processes. Daily, I think, everyone should sit alone, quietly and try to figure out how their thoughts work. It is not hard and gives a lot of peace.

Nice name
The last one is very important. I have been telling everybody how supermarkets make me anxious because there is so much to choose from, and its unnecessary. Its ten times easier to go to local shops with a couple of choices.
That's fascinating because every time I go to the supermarket I am disappointed and annoyed at how FEW actual choices we have when it comes to food. I think there should be at least 4 times more.
This was very insightful, it's also a very good tool to fine tune one's own behavior and induce thirst for knowledge and better understanding. Our ignorance and inability to weight things accordingly are usually invisible to us.
Dude a teacher in class was trying to explain cognitive dissonance but I just couldn't get it. But the way you explained it helped me understand lol thanks.
There are so many more interesting “mind traps” and biases that I love. I wish they could do a video on:
1. Mere Exposure Effect
2. Proximity Effect
3. Habituation
4. Loss Aversion
5. Learned Helplessness
6. The Framing Effect
7. Blame Shifting
8. Diffusion of Responsibility
9. Optimism Bias
10. Bandwagon Effect
11. Place Attachment

Love the art, so unique, got me hooked quickly along with its topics, mostly the art is what I love.
One of my (or AI) best find on YT. So much helpful. Thanks a lot for making this video.
These are good points. Regarding the Baader Meinhoff phenomenon, it is known by some that once you learn something or have a new experience, that new knowledge or experience will start to show up more, not as a coincidence but because you were meant to have that experience or knowledge and repeat it until you learn the lessons from it or you know the information well enough. Everything happens for a reason. It’s not just a phenomenon, it has meaning behind it. When you see repeating numbers, words, events, etc in your life there is a reason for it, because it is messages from source to you. It is trying to communicate with you.
This is true. Also keep in mind that the voices always know what's best for you. I know they have my back at least.
The most important thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
How can this person, ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER be reached please...
Wow! I just looked up this person out of curiosity and I'm super impressed with her qualifications. Thanks for sharing.
This comment and replies seems absolutely legit ...... nothing dodgy to see here LOL
Money holds no value if the world collapses.
This is madness, for several reasons. Here are two, extemporaeously: 1) The example of 10,000 years of human civilization strongly suggests that stable government is required for the smooth functioning of any human society larger than a couple hundred people, and without it nothing you "own" will provide any protection for you whatsoever. You think gold can buy security? Only until your bodyguards decide that they'd rather have it for themselves. Or until somebody with *more* gold fancies that he'd like to add yours to his pile. 2) Whereas gold and silver can be materially useful and are basic atomically stable elements of nature that don't physically deteriorate on any human time-scale, digital currencies are about as durable as Beanie Babies, and of even less inherent utility, because they're tied to the wholly artificial scarcity of ephemeral and inherently valueless imaginary "objects." They might *mimic* commodities, but are in fact abstractions of zero practical value to anyone. They're nothing more than NFTs whose worthlessness is concealed behind mathematical structures that almost nobody understands. They're the equivalent of the rules of a game ... If nobody feels like playing, they become meaningless, and the game ceases to exist. At least, whenever I've asked why cryptos have any intrinsic value at all, I've never received an intelligible answer that relies on anything more than fuzzy hopes and childish resentments. And good luck trying to cash them in if a solar flare knocks out the global electrical grid for a year; when that happens, I'll have far more trust in an extant government of my fellow humans than in the nigh-impenetrable zero-sum game-theory that is blockchain pseudo-currency.
Also, ponder this: If the government of, say, Germany were to collapse overnight and the country to descend into violent chaos, the world's confidence in democracy would be shaken to its core, and all manner of crises would erupt all around the globe. If, on the other hand, the value of a Bitcoin dissolved to nothing overnight, the vast majority of the world would say, "Yeah, that makes sense, it always seemed shady" and enjoy ten minutes of schadenfreude before forgetting about it and carrying on with their day as normal. The greatest victims of crypto collapse would be money launderers, and, well, good.
Great job! I love your videos and i look forward to watching more of them.❤
I hate reading and even though i tried reading some books I had to force myself to do so. It was a really boring and exhausting experience . Now I realize the content of those books wasn’t the problem that I didn’t continue reading. Your voice even makes focusing and understanding easier. Especially for those with ADHD.
Thank you for your amazing work!😊🌹

I dont think anyone understands the power of this video. Understanding these things can completely change your outlook on life when you really sit and think about it. These things occur everyday right in front of our faces as we know it. This will definitely help me understand situations, and the outlook of them a lot better. I spent my whole life mad at the world on why I dont understand why I feel the way I feel about A LOTTTTT of situations. But this is literally a CHEAT CODE. this channel is a literal bible. And when I make it, I will do everything I can to make sure anyone I help out, or influence, notices this channel. Great Job My man.
Absolutely one of the greatest channels I have found !! You deserve a lot and thank you !
Mind trap 5 "Gambler's Fallacy" is interesting because the chances of rolling 4 same sides in a row is 1/16. I think mathematically it makes sense switching it, although rationally one should acknowledge that the present coin toss is still 1/2.
It is very interesting! And I had to pause the video and think about it. In mathematics, the probability for a coin toss is 1/2^n , where n is the number of times in a row you have to guess it correctly, or the length of the sequence. It applies when guessing BEFORE any tosses. The difference here is that the previous flips weren’t part of the sequence. Probability is for predicting FUTURE flips in a sequence, the ones that happened already are irrelevant. It took me a second to think through that, but it makes sense.
That last one hit me pretty hard 😂 I often find myself agonising over the pros of another choice and end up being not too satisfied with the decisions I've made.
Happy to see some new videos!!! I happen to watch your automatic habits summary few months ago and I love it!!
Look forward to watch more videos in your channel! ❤
this thing should be taught in schools ... instead of useless subjects
I love listening to videos like this, astronomy and science videos while I’m at work. It’s satisfying knowing that I’m learning something while doing something so mundane. The silver lining to going to work 😅 🤷🏻♂️
Man, I had to pause after #1 to re-evaluate my life. "You can play the clever fox all you want - but you'll never get the grapes that way." That really threw me for a loop.
Mind traps are also known as 'thinking errors', 'negative automatic thoughts', or 'unhelpful thoughts' because they are often inaccurate, critical, or simply unhelpful. Mind traps can consume your thinking, including what you pay attention to, and impact how you feel, and your decision-making and actions.
It's all good and well... but HOW HIGH IS THAT REDWOOD TREE??!
