Random Friday Message - 2025-09-19

This is a random message on random Fridays about random topics. Typing fast, so pardon my random typos.

Today’s focus: Cognition and biases….
  • The Einstellung Effect: This short video explains the problem commonly known as “if you succeed with a hammer, everything will look like nails”!
  • MIT Sloan research finds stereotypes about astrological signs lead to discrimination in China — even though they do not predict personality. An article about an interesting social effect. Imagine if there was disagreement between astronomers and astrologers.
  • How Gen Z and TikTok are changing the way we speak: Is given! A little long video (18 minutes), yet relevant.

Happy Friday!
