It's weird how a lot of stuff I get interested in eventually becomes trendy. I guess that's something someone might boast about, but I'd rather be squarely in the middle of stuff rather than always being the lonely nerd enthusing about stuff nobody gives a damn about (yet).
I just came across this recent episode of Fresh Air about brain bugs ("The Cognitive Flaws That Shape Our Lives").
I've been fascinated with the subject years. Here are a few brain bugs I've noticed:
Never Count on Redemption
Ceding to the Idiots
Natural Egocentric Dispositions
Going All the Way in One's Shmuckery
...and, especially, this trio:
Selfishness and Generosity
Common Strange Shifts of Perspective
and More Strange Perceptual Shifts
Finally, see Leff's Laws
