Futurist Jim Carroll"An irrational belief in irrational ideas usually leads to irrational results" - Futurist Jim CarrollSo let's try and figure out what's going on.I took today's quote, fed it to ChatGPT, and got the picture above which I used for today;'s 'inspiration' image.Look, in the last little while, I've looked into the Science of Stupidity,  the Science of Mistakes, and The Science of Regret. So why not the Science of Irrational Decisions, which I learned is often referred to as "cognitive distortions." There's a lot to be found online to explain where we are.  Charts and stuff that explain the many different types of irrational decisions aka cognitive distortions.There's even a course or two to take on it.It's a fascinating topic, and as expected, there's a lot of research to be found. It's a wonderful rabbit hole to plunge into because you will find such papers as  Overcoming Cognitive Distortions; How to Recognize and Challenge the Thinking Traps that Make You Miserable.That tracks. People seem to be pretty miserable right now because of the cognitive distortions they've gone through that got us to where we are today. And, as might expected, there is to be a leadership / personal growth book about it, with the title Predictably IrrationalL: The Hidden Forces that Shape our Decisions, released back in 2008. It probably could use an update!So let's dig in, shall we? Let's talk about why folks make poor choices about big economic and political issues that end up hurting everyone. Here's what the science tells us. When people vote against their economic interests or support harmful policies, it's rarely because they're stupid. Their brains just don't always work in their best interest when dealing with complex global systems. Why is that? Our brains take shortcuts. We use mental rules of thumb that help us make quick decisions. This works fine for everyday choices but fails miserably when considering trade policy, inflation control, voting, or healthcare systems.What happens to people in this circumstance? They get emotional about political and economic issues. Fear, anger, and tribalism cloud their judgment. When someone supports tariffs that will ultimately hurt local businesses because they sound "tough on foreign competition" - that's emotional reasoning drowning out economic reality. It's cognitive dissonance, plain and simple.The kicker is that the condition leads to great uncertainty, which fuels itself creating more uncertainty in a vicious spiral.It's complex, folks, and there is no easy way out.Buckle up.Read the rest of the post.**<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Irrationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Irrationality</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Cognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cognition</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Distortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Distortion</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Economics</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Politics</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Decisions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Decisions</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Tribalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tribalism</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Uncertainty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Uncertainty</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Bias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bias</a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Denialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Denialism</a>**Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-inspiration-cognitive-distortions-an-irrational-belief-in-irrational-ideas-usually-leads-to-irrational-results/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-inspiration-cognitive-distortions-an-irrational-belief-in-irrational-ideas-usually-leads-to-irrational-results/</a>

bendamaybe just me, but the feed seems awfully quiet on the "bandcamp(c)(tm)(r) friday" front. which means there should be plenty of oxygen in the room for my own suggestions :Pgranted, the world is burning , and simultaneously flooding, and we got measles and an all-you-can-infect flu buffet going on. but in these times, its important to remember that what we *can* still do for others matters. supporting one another and making the days a little less painful is important. think of the last time someone made you smile or laugh in spite of the trauma that is our every day lives. also, i think absolute good is often characterized by being two ways. when you do real good, you make someone else happier and yourself happier. so if you like the music an artist is making, throw them a $1 or $2. their music makes you happy and your support will make their day.so if any of you are you interested in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ambient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ambient</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/soundscapes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#soundscapes</a> with a healthy dose of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/noise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#noise</a> but often times weaving a solid <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rhythmic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rhythmic</a> section in and out of that fabric... i would highly recommend you check out my comrade <a href="https://todon.eu/@rybson" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@rybson</a> . you can grab music and support them at their bandcamp: <a href="https://xymmusic.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://xymmusic.bandcamp.com/</a> been studying a ton of stuff this week, and "lofi microtonal beats to avoid brain damage to" as well as the album "gomi 三" have made for an excellent study soundtrack.if you would like something less abstract, but more <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/techno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#techno</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/industrial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#industrial</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ebm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ebm</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dance</a> oriented while very explicitly attacking the powers that be and being driven by the wildest (i mean, seriously, the fucking wildest) <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drum</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beats</a> doused in just the right amount of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/distortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#distortion</a> you need to check out my other comrade, <a href="https://mas.to/@controlfreak" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@controlfreak</a> <a href="https://music.control.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://music.control.org/</a> anything you can contribute to him would be greatly appreciated by me personally so that we can crowdfund the making of his next masterpiece :Dor you know support someone you care about it. even small amounts. our power lies in our numbers and the quality of our interactions. we don't need the corpos, we don't need a special day or a branded campaign brought to you by roland, or us bank. take care of another and stay radical.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mutualaid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/crowdfunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crowdfunding</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/independent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#independent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bandcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bandcamp</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bandcampfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bandcampfriday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fairtrademusicfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fairtrademusicfriday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fairtrademusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fairtrademusic</a>
