Why Bad Ideas Sound Better Than Good Ones
History has an abundance of cases that point out that "great" ideas in practice have a 99% tendency to fail exponentially. Be it investing in a pyramid scheme, getting hammered on a Sunday night, gambling, playing the lottery, or investing in crypto. In a world of complex problems it’s understandable why people reach for ideas that sound like easy solutions. But why do people keep repeating dumb ideas? In this episode, I discuss why bad ideas sound better than good ones.
