🧠 Fast Wins, Flawed Logic, Real Choices
Manage episode 478600876 series 2740117
🧠 People often say they want big wins (like lotteries), but in practice, they choose what wins more often—even if it pays less.
🎮 In experiments, when outcomes are shown side-by-side, we tend to favor the “frequent winner.”
📉 This bias can make us overlook rare, high rewards—shaping real-world choices in money, health, and risk.
🔍 Bottom line: It’s not just what we choose, but how the choice is shown that changes everything.
