Part 1 of 5 - How to Make Better Decisions - BBC Horizon

We are bad at making decisions. According to science, our decisions are based on oversimplification, laziness and prejudice. And that's assuming that we haven't already been hijacked by our surroundings or led astray by our subconscious!

Featuring exclusive footage of experiments that show how our choices can be confounded by temperature, warped by post-rationalisation and even manipulated by the future, Horizon presents a guide to better decision making, and introduces you to Mathematician Garth Sundem, who is convinced that conclusions can best be reached using simple maths and a pencil!

@novatrek Sorry you didn't like it, but honestly, I think you're over-reacting. I can maybe understand you being annoyed because it states 'You/we are bad at making decisions' or something, or what is it that really 'grinds your gears' xD

Regards.

@MISTERASMODEUS @Aprinsa Yeah, is really intresting is that all they needed was to actually try, and all whom tried actually succeded at getting girs numbers. That seems like a great "philosophy" to have about life.

lmao... this video is kind of pointless, but fun to watch anyway.

[MISTERASMODEUS]

Schlock. This is nonsense. Way too many variables to solve the equations. Ease the grip on your need to control and maybe you will have a chance. It's where life, beauty and art go that science cannot follow. And vice versa.

@brightingsky2009 Yes, some illiterate negroid posing as a linguistic savant. That is classic. Perhaps your math is off because 5 ≠ 0.5. Thanks for further grammatically butchering my language. Return to your mud hut.
