We humans are super bad at behaving rationally.
For example, we are super bad at calculating the risk of things.
Around 2,5% of people is scared to death when it’s about flying, whereas the risk that your death is on plane is actually 0,0004%.
So far less than the risk that your death will be in a car accident which is 0,97%, roughly 1%.
And the risk of dying of heart disease is roughly 17%, but we all keep on eating, drinking, and smoking.
We’re really bad at calculating the outcome of risks (likelihood) to take. The outcome of a situation is RISK x IMPACT. I’d like to write more, but this is what I could write today. I hope to be sharing more learnings here about this soon.
