Default Re: The Decisionmaking Thread

The 1st part of your question i think was adequately answered by the first 2 responses.

The 2nd one is a lot more interesting to me.
Assuming "magnitude of consequence of our decisions a significant measure of success" holds true would you rather

A: Have your decision potentially cost 50 people $1,000 each.
B: Have 1 person lose 50,000.

Another example (lets assume everything i say is true), an unmarried CEO if he does a bad job causes his employees ~150 to get fired.
vs.
A man with a family who if he doesnt work the family starves.
