Research has shown that the intuitive System 1 is actually more influential in our decisions, choices and judgements than we generally realize. But, while enabling us to act quickly, System 1 is prone to mistakes. It tends to be overconfident, creating the impression that we live in a world that’s more coherent and simpler than the actual real world. It suppresses complexity and information that might contradict its coherent story.
Making sense of probabilities, numbers and graphs requires us to engage System 2, which, for most everyone, takes quite a bit of focus, time and energy. Thus, most people will try to evaluate the information using a System 1 simple story: who will win the election? who will win the football game?.....>>Storytelling<< has played a central role in human communications since times immemorial. Over the centuries, the nature of storytelling has significantly evolved with the advent of writing and the emergence of new technologies that enabled stories to be embodied in a variety of media, including books, films, and TV. Everything else being equal, stories are our preferred way of absorbing information.
“It’s not enough to say an event has a 10% probability,” wrote Mr. Leonhardt. “People need a story that forces them to visualize the unlikely event – so they don’t round 10% down to 0%.”.....]]>storytelling probabilities decision_making sense-making thinking_deliberatively thinking_in_layers Communicating_&_Connecting complexity Daniel_Kahneman data_journalism in_the_real_world Irving_Wladawsky-Berger massive_data_sets metacognition uncertainty second-level_thinking first-order instinctual_responses coherence narrativeshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jerryking/b:25f4b5c4cb20/E-tailers joining the real world - The Globe and Mail2017-06-27T23:47:01+00:00

jerrykingon-demand<< companies are learning, they are not necessarily compatible with >>the real world<<....The belief that problems can be solved without involving people is probably why many of these companies did not meet with >>regulators<< and officials before starting services in new cities. And it has come back to haunt them. Luther Lowe, director of public policy at Yelp, had some basic advice for Uber that could apply to Airbnb, Lyft and others: Hire a >>lobbyist<< and meet with the mayor and the city council before setting up shop....DESPITE these three major differences between web companies and the ones that **bridge the digital and physical worlds**[i.e. = "cyberphysical"], they all share another guiding Silicon Valley principle: the belief that if enough people want to use a product, the company will succeed....Julie Samuels is the executive director of Engine, which advises start-ups on policy...another principle shared by both older and newer tech companies: Regulators are little more than roadblocks standing in the way of innovation.

jerryking>targeted approach<<," Margaret Parsons, the executive director of the African Canadian Legal Clinic, told a Toronto newspaper. "It does not address ["anti-black"] racism."
This is quite stunning. Agencies that have been sitting on the sidelines for years have decided within two months that they have the answer. When community activist Dudley Laws declared in the summer of 2001 that at least 94 black youths had been killed by other black youths since 1996, the silence from black >>community groups<< was deafening. Now those groups wish to pick up their ball and bat and go home.
Segregating people by race, voluntary or otherwise, is not a solution. It compounds the problems of poverty, exclusion and related pathologies, including rampant fatherlessness and its flip side, out-of-control youth. Creating separate offices and separate schools, and tearing down behavioural codes that apply to everyone, will send a destructive message to everyone: that people do not have to live together, that separate is not so bad as long as it is equal.]]>segregation African_Canadians violence killings silence editorials dysfunction fatherhood family_breakdown in_the_real_world Dudley_Laws community_activism multiculturalism racism shootings black_separatism Afrocentric the_Lorax codes_of_conduct young_people targeted_strategies anti-black community_groupshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jerryking/b:5bbd6199bd0b/Viral Marketing for the Real World2011-10-22T19:54:34+00:00
