Trying times and mental blindspots

During difficult times like these, all we think about is survival. Because of our mental blindspots, we forget how to act more rationally. Its apparent with the hoarding and the mistakes seen during this pandemic. This is such a good read and it reminds us not to act on impulse because we might be heading for a bigger disaster

Hopefully the government could watch this for them to know that guidelines they implemented are for short term, and need to impose rules that could last long. Thank you for siting the 3 dangerous judgement errors and how to overcome these. Will definitely share this for the information of everyone.

Every business needs to survive by being pessimistic

Our brain’s main way of dealing with threats is the fight-or-flight response. A great fit for the kind of short-term, intense risks we faced as hunter-gatherers, the fight-or-flight response is terrible at defending us from major disruptions caused by the slow-moving train wrecks we face in the modern environment, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. There's a need to prepare forehand and thanks for sharing this article to keep me in business!
