The most surprising bit of information that I learned in this video was how people generally think of uncertainty. I took Prof. Gilbert’s Psych1 last fall, and it still amazes me how much people value the concept of being certain about an outcome. I wonder if this will change over time as the general population becomes more educated, or if (on average) we stay to our more primal sentiments regarding certainty.
