Stuck Song Syndrome haunts sometimes/ Steve Jobs Interview/How Doctors Die

Leave a Comment

Did you ever had a song that got stuck in your mind even after it is no longer being played or spoken about.You're not alone in this musical maze!

An earworm, also known as a stuck song syndrome, is a catchy or memorable piece of music or saying that continuously occupies a person's mind even after it is no longer being played or spoken about.

Here's the scoop: our brains are absolute fans of patterns. And guess what? Music often follows repetitive structures, creating the perfect playground for our brains.

When you catch a catchy tune,your brain's 'Default Network' springs into action. It's the same network that daydreams, and it has a knack for filling in gaps,

replaying that hook endlessly.Earworms are a harmless phenomenon, but they can be annoying and disruptive.

Liars Dividend/ Visualise Your Calendar/Cute Tigers

Leave a Comment

Dear all

Ravisutanjani, the man who made waves on social media with a cardless cash withdrawal from India's inaugural UPI-ATM at the recent Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai. Studied Computer Engineering from IIIT Allahabad, attended PGP in business management and marketing at MDI Gurgaon and many more qualifications.

Even PM of Bharat Shri Narendra Modi shared his tweet.

But what we all don't know is that his degrees and qualifications are all FAKE. The online world stormed after a series of Twitter post by @SatarkAadmi disclosed his reality.

This incident gives the idea of today's topic.

The "liar's dividend" is a term that describes the benefits that liars or those who spread false information can gain, particularly in the age of social media where news and information spread rapidly.

The term was coined by the American philosopher and cognitive scientist Donald Davidson.

The liar's dividend can be seen in many different contexts. For example, a politician who makes false promises may be able to win an election, even if they are eventually exposed as a liar. A businessperson who makes false claims about their products or services may be able to increase sales, even if they are eventually caught. And a student who cheats on an exam may be able to get a good grade, even if they are eventually caught.

By the way he is back again.

How I learned About Concorde Fallacy/ India's Largest Station / zzzuckerberg

Leave a Comment

Dear all,

In 2017, I first started buying stocks πŸ’Ήfrom the stock market. After going through

recommendations, advertisements, and suggestions,

I bought some shares of a penny stock πŸͺ™ that I believed to be a winner, or to be more precise, a multibagger.

However, the stock price started to decline πŸ“‰. After some time, I bought some more shares of the same company and tried to average down. I waited again, but the share price declined further. Being an optimist, I again bought some shares of that penny stock. And again, the price declined further.

Now, I stopped ✋ investing any further and also did not sold the shares. Hoping that some day it will give positive returns and I will be able to recover its value.

This tendency to continue investing in something that is not working out, simply because I have already invested a lot of time, money, or effort into it, is known as the Concorde Fallacy or Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Ultimately, the investment became a loss-making one.

This term came from the British and French governments' decision to continue funding the development of the Concorde supersonic passenger jet, even after it became clear that the project was not economically viable.

Here are some tips for avoiding the sunk cost fallacy:

πŸ•΅️ Set clear investment goals and objectives.

✍️ Regularly review your investments and make adjustments as needed.

🫑Be willing to admit when you have made a mistake.

😱Don't be afraid to cut your losses.

The sunk cost fallacy is a common cognitive 🀯bias that can lead to poor decision-making. By understanding this fallacy and being aware of its triggers, you can avoid making costly mistakes in your investments.

Almost all medical professionals have seen what we call "futile care" being performed on people. That's when doctors bring the cutting edge of technology to bear on a grievously ill person near the end of life. The patient will get cut open, perforated with tubes, hooked up to machines, and assaulted with drugs. All of this occurs in the Intensive Care Unit at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars a day. What it buys is misery we would not inflict on a terrorist. - [Source]
