fanatic fandom

My other blog is a BMW. But this is a bandanna-pink Volkswagen Beetle - for flirty frivolous fun and fanatic fandom. This is where i get to play the bimbonic-geek and rave, enthuse, bitch and rant about anything and everything under the sun. Feel free to chip in!

decision fatigue, sunk costs, and other cheem-sounding words

So i found out today that some psychologists somewhere have come up with a new malady called 'decision fatigue'. It's amazing. There's always some new name, some new label, that one can attach to some human malfunctioning. Fascinating.

Am also thinking about sunk costs, and how easy it is to slip into the sunk cost fallacy: thinking that just because we've already invested a lot in something (anything), it makes sense to continue investing even if we don't actually want this something, because, if we don't, we'd have wasted the initial investment.

Ah life.
