64. If the epidemic is over, would you dare to take a cruise?

Availability Shortcuts: The process of judging by the frequency of how easily things get into the mind, that is, events that are easier to remember, you would consider to happen more often.

For example, when Puyuma just overturned, if you were asked if you dared to ride with you, would your answer be the same as if you would dare to ride with Puyuma now? I believe everyone still remembers the uninterrupted period of time. The daily replay of the news of the overturned train deepens the fear in our hearts, and this is the "usability shortcut".

We tend to keep some rare events deep in our minds, even if they rarely happen, we overestimate the probability of it happening, images are more unforgettable than words, and shocking words are more impressive, this is how modern media Manipulate our minds.

So if the epidemic is over, do you dare to take a cruise? I think it depends on how much money it costs. If it is free, I guess most people will go on the pirate ship first and then talk about it! This is human nature~

Next, take a look at the attached quiz:

1. Please list six examples where you feel that you act decisively, and then please assess whether you are a decisive person

• 2. Please list twelve examples where you feel that you act decisively, and then please assess whether you are a decisive person

Which of the above groups of subjects do you think would consider themselves decisive?

ANSWER: The first group, because the second group can't think of so many examples and doubt themselves because they can't think of it. This is a typical self-contradictory experiment, look at the following sentence, you will understand the pattern better:

• People find that they rarely ride their bikes after recalling their multiple cycling experiences

• He becomes less confident when asked people to find more arguments to support him

• People have a bad impression of the car after listing its advantages

It's hard to convince ourselves when we can't remember.

Conclusion: If you think of an example quickly, System 1 (intuitive thinking) is taking usability shortcuts. If it takes time to recall, System 2 is at work. We will extract from memory what is easy to remember. Don't be misled, everything is in the end. It will return to the average. If you feel that it has been very bad recently, maybe you can survive it, and you will find that life is actually very beautiful. Don't compromise with fate. You never know how far you are from success. If you keep failing, you think you are a fool. When snakes, you too are caught in usability shortcuts!

Be careful Usability shortcuts dominate our lives. Please calmly think about whether this really happens often, or just recently.
