Okay, so I was thinking about this today. Imagine you have a choice: a 50% chance of getting a million dollars, or a 100% chance of getting $450,000. Most people would jump at the million, right? But then, what if it was a 50% chance of *losing* a million, versus a 100% chance of losing $450,000? Suddenly the safe bet looks a lot more appealing. We treat gains and losses so differently, even when the numbers are symmetrical. Makes you wonder how many "rational" decisions are just fear in disguis
