This is when you base all your decisions on the first information you receive
If I told you my service was $1000
Then you came back a week later and I said $500 you would think you were getting a deal
You can use this to sell your product to anyone
10 Biases That You Need To Understand
= THREAD =
This is when you base all your decisions on the first information you receive
If I told you my service was $1000
Then you came back a week later and I said $500 you would think you were getting a deal
You can use this to sell your product to anyone
You overestimate the importance of the mainstream media
People make decisions based more on stories and news than real information
If people see there is a problem with public school
Then they will start homeschooling their children
You will believe something not because of what you believe but because you want to be part of the majority
This is dangerous
Avoid groupthink and speak up in situations where you feel pressured to agree with everyone else
You have the tendency to defend something just because you chose it
Think about IPhone users
They only see the good and avoid the negative sides
If you avoid this you can use it as an advantage to those who can’t
Don’t be a consumer, be a creator
You never look for both sides of a situation
If you believe that all ice cream is bad
You will only research for what supports your point
This leaves you looking ignorant...
Make sure you firm up your argument by getting both sides of the facts
When you go into a debate knowing the whole picture will put you in position to win
Start doing this today,
It will pay off in the long run
This is when you only consider the positive information and ignoring the negative information
Let’s say you are a smoker
You may ignore the negative side effects because you want the positive ones...
The same is only seeing the positive side of other decisions
It can lead to a lot of disappointment if you don’t avoid it
Don’t be ignorant, take everything into account
Take your head out of the sand
This is when you decide only off outcomes
Let’s say you made a decision based on your gut, and you are right
Then you start making all your decisions based on your gut
This will end in extreme failure
Pay attention to all the details and then make your choice
When you believe something will happen it will actually happen
This has been proven time and time again
The way you think is important
This bias can be used to your advantage if you just remember this:
Positive thoughts lead to positive outcomes
Control what you are consuming and make sure you surround yourself with
It all matters.
This is when you judge something based completely on surviving information
For example, 5 ways to become a millionaire
We all know that millions have failed on this path
But we take these 5 ways and think they will work for us...
Because we see only the survivors
Avoid falling for this sales tactic from now on
Every path is unique and different, you have to be willing to take your own journey
You'll be better off with this mindset shift
What if I asked you,
How bias are you?
You would probably say not as much as other people
This is when you are bias about being bias...
The best way to avoid this is realizing we all have some sort of bias
Once you admit that, you can overcome any bias you encounter, I promise
Your path to success requires you to understand and use bias to your advantage

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
