Biases 1-Baader-Meinhof Effect

This is the start of a new post series. From now on, I will share biases with examples from daily life. "Why?" could be the question on your mind. Because biases are the first thing that shape your deductions. So, if we are aware of them, we can at least try to decrease their effect.(We can't delete them. Only we can control them.)

If you are ready to face yourself and ready to change it, let's start with the first one: the Baader-Meinhof Effect.

Let's say you went shopping for shoes. You saw a brand new model of shoes you've never seen before and thought "Wow. That's a brand new model." You left the shop and went home. A few days later, you start to realize that a lot of people have the same shoes you have. The first thought is: "This shoe is starting to become popular. Everybody buys it nowadays." And here is the bias.

The real reason you started to notice this shoe model is because you've just bought it and your brain became aware of it. Then, started to show it to you everywhere you go.

This bias is also called:

-Frequency Illusion -Selective-Attention Bias

-Recency Illusion

You can apply it to everything you've just become aware of. So, how can we as "Deductionists" use it to our advantage and be aware of the dangers?

First of all, the biggest danger is the effects on your deductions. If you've read or learned something, you will have more tendency to see the situations in the way you learned them. For example, married people wear a ring on their ring finger. When you learn that, you will notice a lot of rings on people's fingers and you will be more likely to see all of them as married. So, whenever you learn something new, be aware of that.

And now, how to use it to our advantage? If you can learn something and you can start to notice that a lot, that means if we learn a lot of information about the things we see in daily life, we will be more aware of them. If you learn all of the shoe brands and models, whenever you go out you will notice the shoes and you will also know the model. That means you are going to miss less information.

So, start learning and noticing more. Just be careful about the ways it can distort the information. That's all for this post.

May I have. A fun fact please :)

fun fact! the baader-meinhof phenomenon, or frequency effect, is not really some sort of mystical thing or a sign from the above or whatever. hell, it's not even that much of a phenomenon. your brain is simply drawn to things that you have just found out about, or have already been thinking of, and so you start noticing that thing repeatedly. some people think it's weird or that like, i dont know, the universe is spying on their thoughts and trying to give them a message. but really it's just what our brain does best: notices patterns. let's say for example you find out that bamboo is a grass (hey, that's another fun fact for you!) and so next time you turn on the tv or watch a youtube video or scroll down a few posts from this one, Bamboo Being Grass might get mentioned. several times, even. and you'd think: that's weird, could it really all just be a coincidence? but yes, it could! realistically, Bamboo Being Grass would've been mentioned in a bunch of places anyway, it's just that you are now more inclined to notice that fact because it's new information for your brain!

This will be a bit of a geeky question, but it's not about That Fic I promise. I saw you chatting with people in German here about using Memory Culture in your fic, and I noticed when reading that in your notes you mention 1960s/70s Germany when talking about memory of Fearnorians, apologizing as this is my special interest but did you mean that you are using an analogy of the RAF group for the Fearnorians? Wow, that's so interesting of an angle, and I'm re reading and I can really see how youre working it using Elrond as someone directly affected by "memory gap" because of trauma. Really sorry if it's not on purpose, the Raf thing, but as someone who's kind of hyper fixated on that part of history now I'm so awed that youre using it in a LotR story!

VERY, very good spot, hot damn I am insanely impressed hahaha. I was heading back off lunch but saw this come in and wanted to answer it quickly before going back in but yes that is precisely what's going on.

I wouldn't say analogy, I don't like using direct historical parallels, simply because it reduces both fact and fiction to directly reflect each other without any changes. However, definitely Erinnerungskultur around the Baader-Meinhof Gruppe is what influenced the fic — not necessarily how the Fëanorians are portrayed, not at all, the characters aren't standins in any way — but rather how they are remembered, recorded, and perceived within the universe of the fic itself, and by varying degrees of proximity, and there is a deliberate similarity to how Estel chats about Maedhros' hand with how Ulrike Meinhof's brain was tossed around universities. In fact, the final epigraph for the last chapter coming soon is actually from Blackbox BRD, a film about the kidnapping and death of Alfred Herrhausen — "der Kampf ist vorbei, die Wunden sind offen".

I didn't actually intend for that approach to be too evident, because it's a fun little fic and in no way a historical treatise LMAOOO so yes, very outstanding spot, and very much on purpose — I don't have too much time to answer properly so here's the first page of notes I made a couple months back when coming up w the idea for the story, may make no sense if you don't speak German ofc but basically yes you're v right and it taking that lens is def intentional. Again, I'm v thrilled someone noted it!!!

#1178: look to your left without moving your head. now to your right. then down. now you can see your nose! (i have no idea if that actually worked.) in fact, it's always in your field of view (except when looking up, duh): your brain just blanks it out. this is called unconscious selective attention and it's the reason why you can concentrate on one thing. that viral video of the gorilla walking through the basketball players works because of this. the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, aka the frequency illusion, is the bias that once you learn of something or talk about it for a bit, you start noticing it everywhere. it happens to us all the time, and it's another cognitive bias, largely due to selective attention. the recency illusion (where you think that something must be a new thing because you only just found out about it) is also a corollary of selective attention.

[mister-eames]

1/? ive seen you discussing music/songs/singing etc in regards to arthur/eames a few times so i thought i'd share this thought i had earlier today...what if every time they go under with arthur as the dreamer eames catches snippets of love songs playing in the background (or vice versa but i totally headcanon arthur as being the music aficionado & his taste in music has RANGE. like he listens to everything from billie holiday to lady gaga to bruce springsteen to abba to limp bizkit etc

2/? anyway.. arthur and eames standing side by side in a dream observing the mark, just the two of us plays somewhere, next time it's everywhere by fleetwood mac, then kiss me by sixpence none the richer, then meet me halfway by the black eyed peas (listen it's a banger. also ever since i reheard an old song by them and heard them mention inception in it i've found myself being quite fond of them), lovely day by bill withers, fantasy by mariah carey, heatwaves by glass animals, crazy little

3/? thing called love by queen... the list goes on... and then it's like the baader meinhof phenomenon where it starts passing over to real life. eames watching arthur walking away after splitting up after a successful job: ain't no sunshine plays in the bar where he's sipping his drink. after answering a call from arthur which eames only realises after he's hung up wasn't even job related and was simply a catch up- stevie wonder's i just called to say i love you starts playing on the car

4/4 radio. after a long time without a job together, eames walks into a warehouse and the minute his eyes meet arthur's across the room it must be love by the madness starts tinnily playing on ariadne's playlist. anyway. i love music and i love them so!

---

Nonnie I am making a note of all of these, I am obsessed with the idea that one of them might hear snippets of love songs both in dreams and in life, especially if they are the dreamer - like our brains are so whacky and our subconscious seems so unique and out of our control who's to say this couldn't happen? (Now I'm imagining someones projections breaking out into song and the dreamer telling them, embarrassedly, to shut up) aha - this is so brilliant!!! I must know if they keep hearing songs when Arthur and Eames get together!

Is the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon all around you? Let's see...

This phenomena is a frequency illusion where something you recently learned, heard, or noticed seems to appear more frequently afterwards.

But how does it occurs?

When you learn or notice something new, your brain becomes more active to that information, making you more likely to notice it again in the future.

Suppose while doing something, your eyes suddenly falls onto a word which you may have seen for the first time in your life. It may look strange to you and is feeded your memory. After that you may start noticing that word being used in conversations, articles, or even in advertisements.

But, this not only applies to words. This also occurs to names, faces, symbols, logos, patterns etc.

Is it useful?

This can enhance your knowledge and understanding of various topics.

Broaden your perspective by exposing you to different viewpoints, experiences, or patterns that you may not have noticed before.

But it can also.....

Create an illusion of significance of certain information, leading to misconceptions or overestimations.

Constantly noticing the same information or pattern can be distracting and may prevent from focusing on other relevant details or tasks.

Thanks to WWW.GOOGLE.COM, for the image and WWW.YOUTUBE.COM for a few information I used above. Rest is by my own research.

Thank You All for reading!!

[dualbasilisk]

I'm sure someone in other reblogs has mentioned it before, but you should look up the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, aka the frequency illusion

Basically, when you encounter something new, you notice that thing more cus your brain is subconsciously emphasizing new information, for example if you get a new car and suddenly notice a lot of people with that same model!

So since the number was important in the movie, your brain was subconsciously looking for it or paying more attention to it when you noticed it!

another unexplained occurrence happened today which was considerably more concerning than the first one that happened this week

Synchronicity: Seeing What You Are Meant to See

Have you ever heard of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? Psychologists define it as a cognitive bias where, once you learn about something new, you suddenly start seeing it everywhere. It creates a sense of confirmation—but what is really happening is that your brain is actively seeking this new information out. Each time it finds it, your brain rewards you with a hit of dopamine, reinforcing the loop.

Another name for this is synchronicity—a term coined by Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist. He was introduced to the I Ching, the ancient Chinese divination text, by his friend Richard Wilhelm. Jung defined synchronicity as “the coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events (such as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality.”

In early civilizations, dreams and omens were viewed as signs of connection between the human spirit and the divine. In ancient Mesopotamia, kings relied on them to guide decisions—whether to build temples or go to war. In Hinduism, synchronicity is often seen as the hand of the universe or God at work, orchestrating events in divine timing.

Have you been seeing the same angel numbers? The same colors? Recurring dreams? Words that seem to jump out at you again and again? These, too, are forms of synchronicity.

For the spiritual and sensitive soul, this is often the Divine—however you define it: Cosmic Mother, Creator, God, Higher Power—reaching out to you through everyday life. If you are looking to interpret these messages more clearly, here are some gentle practices I find most revealing:

Read. This might sound simple, but it works. Pick up whatever book has been calling to you—no need to start at the beginning. Flip to a random page and read. There is usually a message waiting. This often happens to me after I pray for guidance and open my Bible or the book I’ve been reading. A word or phrase I have been wrestling with will leap off the page.

Ask for guidance. There is no need to spiral in uncertainty. Ask your guides for clarity, and remain open to how it shows up. Sometimes, it is embedded in a conversation with a stranger. Sometimes, it is the song you woke up singing for no reason at all.

Research. I love looking up the archaic meanings of symbols—flowers, colors, numbers. Recently, I have been called to study the Divine Feminine: Yemaya, Inanna, Mary Magdalene, and other feminine archetypes. Guess which number and flower essence I keep encountering?

Meditate. Whether in silence, or surrounded by incense and essential oils, sit with what your body and your guides may be saying. Some of my favorite oils to use are frankincense, lavender, clove, and patchouli.

And for the more spiritually adept—you already know the drill: look to the cosmos, pull a few cards, read your incense, crystal gaze, fire gaze. Let the messages unfold as they always do.

1. Rüya Gören Beyin ve Ölüm

Ölmeden önce beynin, normal zamana göre çok daha uzun süren bir rüya görebilir. Yani öldüğünde, aslında sonsuz bir rüyanın içinde sıkışıp kalıyor olabilirsin.

2. Bölünmüş Beyin Hastaları (Split Brain Syndrome)

Beyni ikiye ayrılan bazı hastalar iki farklı benlik geliştirebilir. Hatta bir elleri diğer elleriyle kavga edebilir, çünkü beyin yarım küreleri bağımsız çalışır.

3. Evrenin Dışı (Ve “Dışı” Diye Bir Şey Olmaması)

Evrenin dışında ne var? Belki hiçbir şey yok. Ama “hiçbir şey” bile tanımlanamaz bir kavram. Zaman ve mekan bile yoksa, bunu hayal etmek bile imkânsız.

4. Zaman Algısı ve Ölümden Sonraki Son Düşünce

Zaman beynimiz için tamamen görecelidir. Ölürken zaman sonsuz şekilde yavaşlayabilir ve son anın içinde sıkışıp kalabiliriz.

5. Gözlerin Görmediği Renkler Var (Ve Beynin Onları Yaratabiliyor)

“Görünmez renkler” diye bir şey var: Chimerical colors. Normalde göremezsin ama belirli görsel manipülasyonlarla beyin bu renkleri oluşturabiliyor.

6. Beynindeki Ses Gerçek mi?

İç sesin, seninle konuşan ama fiziksel varlığı olmayan bir varlık gibi. Aslında beyninin seninle konuştuğunu fark ettiğin an, işin rengi değişiyor.

7. Bazı İnsanlar Ekstra Boyutları Hissedebilir

Matematiksel olarak, 3’ten fazla boyut var. Bazı nörolojik hastalıkları olan insanlar, dördüncü boyutu “hissedebildiklerini” söylüyorlar. Ama bunu anlamamız mümkün değil.

8. Anılarının Çoğu Sahte

Beyninin anıları depolayan bir kamera gibi olduğunu sanıyorsan yanılıyorsun. Her hatırladığında anıyı değiştiriyorsun. Yani geçmişi hatırlamak yerine, onun sürekli bozulan bir kopyasını izliyorsun.

9. Evren, Kendini Gözlemleyen Bilinçler Üzerinden Var Oluyor Olabilir

Kuantum mekaniği diyor ki: Bir şeyi gözlemlemeden önce o şey net bir varlığa sahip değil. Yani belki de evren, sadece onu gözlemleyen varlıklar olduğu için var.

10. “Sen” Diye Bir Şey Yok

Beynin milyonlarca küçük işlem yapıyor ama bunları “sen” diye bir bütünlük gibi hissediyorsun. Gerçekte bir bütünlük yok, sadece sürekli değişen bir süreç var.

materials used- newspaper ads, magazine ads + photography

inspired by the sheer amount of ads i'm seeing on a daily basis and how they are forever invading my brain. adpocalypse and the baader meinhof phenomenon!

first piece of art made in my studio space!!!! :')

as exciting and fun as this is, i found everything a little overwhelming so i started with a little collage in my sketchbook (something easy + familiar). very very nice to have a space to take over and make a mess in that isn't the kitchen table/my bedroom floor/the dining room table/any flat surface...

Meditation on The Brain & Dealing with Change

You know what it’s like when you discover someone you think is cute drives a Jeep and suddenly everywhere you look you see Jeeps? I’m feeling a bit of that at the moment when it comes to life changes like the one I’m going through with my semi-retirement. By the way, this seeing the same thing everywhere is called the “Baader-Meinhof phenomenon” or the “frequency illusion,” and I’m seeing…

[too-mny-bones]

This is called the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon and it's my favorite phenomenon! Our brains are basically very very good at Noticing New Things, so when you learn a new word, you suddenly notice it all the time, even though the frequency people use it at doesn't actually change.

I have various reasons to believe that I am on The Truman Show, but my most compelling evidence is that when I learn a new word, it starts popping out everywhere for the next 2 weeks or so

Even appearing where it wouldn't make much sense, like a very niche word that has a more modern substitute, but for some fucking reason they chose to use THAT WORD. It's like there's a lexical spawner everywhere I go, like there's a ghost who's very found of thesauruses and can change signs at will

My current theory is that one of the unpaid interns, probably called Kevin, who was stoned out of his mind one day during a shift and had a brilliant idea. He jumped up his chair and announced: "We should give this guy word schizophrenia"

And yes, he received a raise after that
