YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCounterfactual reasoning (what might have been) leads to unhappiness, is a form of fantasy.
The deceptive appearance of choice: you could not have acted differently.
The illusion of control: you cannot predict or guarantee outcomes.
The cognitive distortion of grandiose omniscience: you can't tell if an event is bad or good for you.
The trap of reason: it is inferior to intuition when judging people.
