Oh, yes. Especially on social media, people can come up with patterns that they deem to reflect reality and find all sorts of data to back it up. I think sometimes, and when they start noticing they're wrong, that's when they double down to keep the charade instead of admitting they're wrong. In the online world, people's craziness can be amplified to unimaginable levels.
Likewise, the assumption that one cannot excel in a certain role because they haven't been there before. It doesn't take the traditional logic of maths. What it takes is trial, and the logic of doing things over and again to attain perfection. Even if it means doing it a million times after failing.
True, it's a form of escapism or taking the path of least resistance. At least try first, exert effort and then make a decision as opposed to making a decision on the fly based on sentiment, which itself has been tasked to keep one safe/on their comfort zone.
Thanks! And thanks also for stopping by, I appreciate it :)
