Sunk Cost

If anyone's wondering what the "overly optimistic probability bias is". I can explain it here briefly.

Pretend you're in the MMA thread, and you've decided to make some bets. While you're contemplating which bets to make, and then kinda figured out what to bet and on who, right before you place your bet, if you get asked how certain you are on your bets, that answer will be more optimistic if we were to ask you right after you've placed your bets.

Maybe explained a lot better if you google it, and check out wikipedia xD

good read

it also has been named "asset love". Imo these words are more intuitive to describe it.

Good post.

Ouuh, interesting, love that shit. One of my newfound hobbies is looking up words I don't fully understand xD

Tried googling it, but only companies and stuff like that came up. Normally when I type in words the first page is filled with wiktionary, defenition pages, wikipedia and such. Weird!! If you have a link, feel free to post.

Looks like having quit wanking you are left with a lot of time on your hands.
edited a typo

You must still be wanking, still acting a bit like a douche, but that's okay. I accept everyone in here.

wouldn't still wanking make him less likely to be a douche, by relieving stress and whatnot?

One would think so.

Marius what are you currently working on in life right now in relation to all these self-improvement threads. These things don't just spawn out of no where, please elaborate

Searching for another passion, if I don't read or write I get depressed. So I do it. This thread here, is one of the 5 I wrote yesterday. I think I read or studied 8-9 hours yesterday.
It's kind of like playing Diablo, you just do it, you don't do it in relation to anything, just do it because it's fun.

I've been playing games for most of my life, came to a point I felt pretty stupid, so decided to start reading or writing more. So tried reading all kinds of books, but I find reading stuff about self-improvement, body language, nlp, universe, stuff similiar in nature, or close to these to be the most fun, and rewarding. (I do indulge in other stuff, but then, oh my, lol, I'd get flamed to bits. I like educational youtube video's, but if I were to write about that, people might just get annoyed, because many of those facts are like, uhm, the stuff you find on Wikipedia. Blabla, 5% of the Ocean is explored, blabla, put 200 really tall buildings from New York on top of eachother, and that's the average depth of the water, blablabla, each time they go down really deep, they find new species, blablabla, there's an octopus down there which got two ninja eyes that glow in the dark at it's back, so it seems he's charging you, but he's actually legging it lol, blabla, so forth, you get the picture).

I do want to sleep, my focus. I always wake 15-20 times a night, can't seem to find the answer quite yet. So I read, maybe I will stumble on something.

When I saw your question I went "hmm", then I looked up to the right, then left, then another hmm, then small shrug with the shoulders. So might just be making up an answer, since I'm not really sure lol.

That's a lot of reading/writing man. I think I've read like three books in my life, tops

Maybe if you combine Diablo and all the reading/writing you do into a Science Fiction novel and make some money. gl with it
