Get the Turn-based dweeb game for nerd babies mug.The cognitive process by which an individual makes a decision based solely on the emotional gratification he or she received while viewing that decision played out in a montage movie style format. In this montage, the individual is the main character of a super epic story, in which they are better looking than they actually are. However, this montage has no connection whatsoever to reality and the end result is disastrous consequences, wasted time, and usually suicide before the age of 35.
Mick: Dude, I'm thinking of studying cinematography out West, I think I could be really good at it and I see myself in my head just killing it all the time and being dope.
Jack: dude, don't do that. That's Montage Based Decision Making (MBDM).
Mick: ye.

Get the womber-based mug.Flaws in our self-monitoring and self-regulation of thinking processes (metacognition). These biases distort our judgment of our own understanding, learning, and problem-solving abilities. Key examples include the Dunning-Kruger effect (poor performers overestimate their ability) and the Illusion of Explanatory Depth (believing you understand something complex until you have to explain it). They are biases in the "dashboard readings" of your own mind.
Metacognitive Biases Example: A student crams for an exam and feels a strong "feeling of knowing." This Metacognitive Bias leads them to stop studying, confident they've mastered the material. During the test, they blank—their metacognitive gauge of knowledge was faulty, mistaking familiarity for understanding.

Get the Metacognitive Biases mug.Systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in the application of logical rules, often driven by emotion, worldview, or cognitive shortcuts. This isn't about formal fallacies, but about the biased choices we make within logic: which premises we accept, which inferences we draw, and which counter-arguments we entertain. It's the subjectivity hidden inside the objective shell of logic.
Logical Biases Example: Two people see the same data on tax cuts. One, with a pro-market logical bias, immediately infers it will stimulate investment. The other, with an equity-focused logical bias, infers it will increase inequality. The same logical tool (inference from data) is wielded to different ends based on prior ideological commitments.

Get the Logical Biases mug.Prejudices that operate at the level of metalogic—the study of the properties of logical systems themselves (like consistency, completeness, soundness). A metalogical bias might be an irrational attachment to classical logic as the "One True Logic," rejecting non-classical systems (like paraconsistent logic that tolerates contradiction) because they feel wrong or threatening, not because they are unsound for certain problems.
Metalogical Biases Example: A mathematician has a metalogical bias for completeness. They deeply distrust any proposed logical system that is proven to be inherently incomplete (like Gödel showed for arithmetic), viewing it as "broken," even if it's incredibly useful for computer science or legal reasoning where paradoxes must be managed.
