Your Unpopular Opinion Is More Popular Than You Think - FutureIQ
Do you think that your opinion is different than everyone else? Are you afraid that your opinion might be unpopular? This thought itself is much more common than you think. We take a lot of decisions in our life assuming the opinions of other people, not realising how much this impacts our day-to-day life. But we may be thinking entirely wrong about how others think. In this episode, we have explained the theory of Preference Falsification that was coined by Timur Kuran in his book “Private Truths, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification”.
We breakdown the concept along with discussing several real life examples in the spheres of politics, social life, personal & professional spaces. Something as political as should gay marriage be legal to something as trivial as should we go have a pizza party at the office for this week’s Fun Friday activities? Preference falsification is an on-going phenomena which impacts every aspect of our life. We elaborate on hidden preferences, revealed preferences, and explain how this can transform into a preference cascade, and if it is at all possible to escape this cycle.
