Ep 359: Regression Towards the Mean
Manage episode 482270407 series 2311329
Humans are incredibly adaptive and tolerant. We are very reliable just like a frog who sits in hot boiling water slowly but surely dying. We can tolerate things and as we tolerate them more, they just slowly shift and become our baseline. It's not until there's an acute moment in our lives that people reach out and ask for support.
This is related to the subject of the regression towards the mean, or a phenomenon that is studied extensively in skeptical communities and in scientific communities where it comes to the efficacy of anecdotal evidence, which is to say you take a remedy and you conclude based on your subjective feeling.
Listen as Adam Quiney discusses this topic and what it means about your motivation for transformation and creating a shift. Enjoy the show!
