week 9 post 1

 this chapter was pretty cool for me it actually had me on the fence for a few different things like personally i am not very big on test like those standardized test that we use to have to take in high school. they were the worst for me it wasn't the fact that i didn't know the matter they was always just so long and boring. i always felt that they were not an accurate way to test if people knew the material or not.

Another part that stood out to me was the sunk cost fallacy and base rate neglect. while the books definitions were definitely to the point but i think the more i looked at the definition the more i applied it to my life's stories even the stories of my friends, families and even some acquaintances. i feel like things would at time be so much easier if we look at them cut an dry. for instance how many of us have stayed in a relationship that we knew was not we wanted where we out grew it or, the feelings weren't mutual anymore or what ever the case maybe but we stayed on the strength we already invested in that person. but our time in, got comfortable. when we make those choices to continue not realizing that it could be sunk cost fallacy or even a base rate neglect. I find it funny that its in the adolescence cognitive development nut some of us are way past adolescence but yet we still have a lot of these traits within us. i can  honestly look at my life and say yes.. ive been there before.. will i be there in the future i hope not.. but if i do get to that crossroad hopefully i will carry myself better and look at it for what it is straight black and white no grey area.
