4. Bro im hear bc i keep misspelling “hru”

5. Thank you.

6. Punch Line: "Recognizing the flawed nature of your thinking is a bold first step to challenging it."

7. 2:25 – I believe this is incorrect. If the false positive rate is 10%, and 10 people test positive, on average, 9 of them have the disease. If this doesn't happen, then the false positive rate is higher than 10%.

8. i knew it. earth is square.

9. Title: How to Trigger Flat-Earthers in Under 4 Minutes

10. the earth is flat , your heuristics are off

11. one like

12. The Earth is a CONE,
    change my mind

13. I am here after reading the book thinking fast and slow

14. OMG, this is a terrible explanation of what heuristics are. It's almost as if this entire video is… an heuristic.

15. that flat earther who walks on a globe must be a donut earther now

16. Excellent Explanation.

17. The disease example he gave is completely wrong. If there's a 1 in 10 chance of a false positive, that means that in let's say 111 out of 100,000 random tests on the population that you'll test positive in the first place. Out of those 111 case, approximately 11 cases will be false positive tests, leaving 100 cases of the disease. Once you've tested positive you're already part of the population of the 111 out of 100,000 that tested positive. Now, let me ask you. Are you more likely to be in the 11 cases that are false positives, or the 100 cases that are true positives?

    His use of the disease example is completely wrong. Once you've already tested positive, you've already limited yourself to the population. What he's saying, which you cannot do, is that because only 1 in 1000 people actually have the disease, even when you have a positive test, there's still only a 1 in 1000 chance that you'll have the disease. It's bad math, and honestly, I'd expect more from a professor in any profession.

18. "but in fact the world is more peaceful today then ever before" while showing a graph representing…just europe

19. Ive been talking about this ever since I heard it back in 2014-2015 and I swear I felt like I was being gaslit when I would explain it to people.

20. Up till 17th of Aug, 2021, 132 individuals who disliked this video still considers Earth flat or squared.

21. A brilliant example of an informative video. Thanks for the upload!

22. Who's here after the world knows that covid-19 is only a cognitive bias based on heuristic assumption made by people from around the world 🥰

    Im here first if thats true in the future (no edit) 😝

23. Same here ☝

24. Wait a minute… this isn't family guy funny moments #46

25. short cuts can cut short the outcome.

26. Now i dont have to search for the meaning again and again,and can complete my book🤓

27. Well Done. Thank you. Although I may be using the anchoring bias to come to that conclusion.

28. trash

29. it sometimes sound same as schema

30. Are you trying to tell me that the earth is not flat!?!?!?!?!

31. Helping the youtube search heuristics by saying this is indeed a very good explanation 😀 5 stars

32. Great vid

33. ''the world is a peaceful place today''
    proceeds to show an ''All-European'' trend hahhahaaa

34. This is so helpful – Thinking fast and slow.
