  • Unpacking Human Fallacies and Why We All Fall for Them.

    Dylan Berry dives into the common traps our minds set for us—the fallacies that shape our decisions and our lives without us even realizing it. From the Gambler’s Fallacy to Confirmation Bias, DB exposes how these mental shortcuts can lead us astray. Ever caught yourself believing something just because an authority figure said it? That’s the Appeal to Authority fallacy, and it’s more pervasive than you think. How the beauty fallacy makes us trust good looks over good sense, and why the Dunning-Kruger effect means the least knowledgeable often feel the most confident. This isn’t just about spotting fallacies in others; it’s about recognizing them in yourself and navigating life smarter, one flawed assumption at a time. Whether you’re in business, relationships, or just trying to make it through the day, understanding these human fallacies is your roadmap to getting out of your own way and making better decisions. Get real, get informed, and stop falling for the BS. Let's get into it—Why It Matters.
