It’s maddening, isn’t it? I’ve been called a Cassandra several times because I “see certain things coming”. Yeah, no shit, I’m not a genius, it’s just simple cause and effect, and some knowledge of history. You would see it too if you open your eyes.

I read about a psychology study where they analysed how many people can link their own actions to effects. A large number of people made the same mistakes multiple times because they didn’t connect the cause. After being told what the cause is, most changed their behaviour, but a significant portion of people still didn’t “get” it and continued making the same bad inputs.

  Is this one you’d be able to share? Or one you heard about but never found?
  
  Sounds like an interesting study to read through, eben if the results are depressing.
