Another good read. Jason. Growing up in the 50's, 1st TV in early 60's my Dad was in charge 2 Brothers and I were Chief fans, but Dad was a Dallas Cowboys fan how could anybody not be for America's team? If Dad was still here (101) I think he would be a Cowboys fan, & we would still be watching them on his TV,,
Insightful comments, Jason; you're touching on such fundamentals of Psych 101 as group think (we go along with crowds, adjusting our beliefs to what seems to be the accepted norm), recency bias (we think that whatever is currently the case is, in fact, the baseline, and contrary examples from the past are disregarded), and more. You're not just a fine writer; you're an educator, sir.
