>To explain overconfidence, Kahneman introduces the concept he labels What You See Is All There Is (WYSIATI). This theory states that when the mind makes decisions, it deals primarily with Known Knowns, phenomena it has already observed. It rarely considers Known Unknowns, phenomena that it knows to be relevant but about which it has no information. Finally it appears oblivious to the possibility of Unknown Unknowns, unknown phenomena of unknown relevance.>He explains that humans fail to take into account complexity and that their understanding of the world consists of a small and necessarily un-representative set of observations. Furthermore, the mind generally does not account for the role of chance and therefore falsely assumes that a future event will mirror a past event.Happens with news stories too. People will jump on a story and say it's horrible, offensive, and downright bad but then some barely important new information comes out and it's suddenly reasonable, justified, good, whatever.
Basically people consider the past and what they see but fail to take into account maybe there's shit they just don't fucking understand or know about and making a judgment on limited information is a stupid idea.
Also part of the image is ironic banter, I'm sure.
