Fight-or-Flight Math

When it is humanly understandable to give up instead of persevering when faced with a false start or failure in solving a math problem—when the pain-and-gain mindset is often missing among struggling or frustrated students, who mistakenly thought that only those blessed or born with the “mathematical gene” could do math.
Fight-or-flight math makes it hard for us to think clearly, logically, and reflexively. Let not negative emotions take control of our reactions.

Air France flight 4590

contrary to popular belief, it did not cause the immediate retirement of the Concorde, but contributed to it.
Ignorant individual: the Concorde crash was why it was retired!

Smart individual: actually, Air France flight 4590 didn’t cause both Air France and British Airways to immediately ground and retire their entire Concorde fleet. Indeed the crash played a part, but it was mostly a combination of high operational costs, high maintenance and restriction of supersonic travel over land due to the sonic boom led to the eventual retirement of the Concorde. 9/11 didn’t help matters either. They still operated their Concordes for a few years after the crash happened.
