thisworld 04/10/24 7:34:13 AM #14: | I believe it's confirmation bias at play. Let me explain. People don't have limitless mental capacity. When we make judgment, it's mentally tiring to evaluate every single thing every single time. So we set up some short of mental shortcut to help us evaluate things. But this shortcut by nature is prone to error & bias. We call this cognitive bias. For example, the mentioned Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias where we overestimate our own abilities. Confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias where we favor information that reinforces our belief. Because of this the exact same story can be interpreted differently by people. A = We need <$1,000 for gaming rig (cheap club) B = We need >$3,000 for gaming rig (expensive club) B says "I have $4,000 gaming rig. I can play game X at 4K / Ultra / 120fps"
