“What happened happened. Okay. Fine. What happens next has nothing to do with that.”

“We all suffer from many biases. We suffer from confirmation bias, selection bias, negativity bias, recency bias, gender bias, optimism bias, etc. These biases are normal, but they are also dangerous. The most dangerous bias we face is our innate privileging of the past. We elevate the past and give it too much importance. Our lives are divided into three distinct states: what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen.

Our past isn't predictive, and neither does it begin a new chapter for us. The earlier we absorb and embrace this belief, the better for us.”
