Jason Silva on Decisions | Brain Games

one of the things that excites me about
technology and even just evolution that
it increases option put the psychic
consequence of this is that we
experience this choice paralysis I mean
I know I get anxiety go in a supermarket
first I’m overwhelmed with excitement
there is just so much amazingness to
choose from but then it’s like well
which cereal will which Apple this one
looks really but this is like which
microwavable dinner do it I mean it just
can’t be like the paralysis of choice
the internet is a great example of
something that’s given us unlimited
choice you can search for them it’s
overwhelming because these options are
wonderful but you can’t possibly pick
one without having to figure of missing
out over what you’re not picking so then
it raises a new issue which is how do
you filter send information said
infinity of options sometimes picking
between a few things is more meaningful
than picking between a bajillion things
you can’t possibly fully quantify or
measure the value of each so you can get
over that I think the solution to the
paralysis of choice is to be really
exempt whatever I choose is what I need
to choose wherever I am is where I need
to be whatever my choices is the right
choice though that’s the only attitude
to her transcend the anxiety of that
