Hindsight Bias: Why You Make Terrible Life Choices - -Nir And Far

  • Summary

  • Hindsight bias occurs when people feel that they “knew it all along” – when they believe that an event is more predictable after it becomes known than it was before it became known2 .

    In other words, when we’re looking back at an event after it already happened, knowing that outcome influences our perception of the events leading up to it.
