How the Survivor Bias Distorts Reality
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-the-survivor-bias-distorts-reality/
Mild success can be explainable by skills and hard work, but wild success is usually attributable to variance and luck
Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The Book in Three Sentences
Randomness, chance, and luck influence our lives and our work more than we realize. Because of hindsight bias and survivorship bias, in particular, we tend to forget the many who fail, remember the few who succeed, and then create reasons and patterns for their success even though it was largely random. Mild success can be explainable by skills and hard work, but wild success is usually attributable to variance and luck.

One of the most widespread forms of miscommunication between men and women stems from the fact that too many people, especially men, equate sex with romance. They believe that if their sex life is adequate, then there’s no need for anything beyond this one arena. Tied to this is the notion that romantic activity outside the bedroom is automatically a lead-in to sexual activity

How the CIA and the Pentagon Use Hollywood to Shape Our Ideas About Friends and Enemies. State-sponsored propaganda in the form of Hollywood movies continued throughout the Cold War up to the present. The production of movies that completely distorted the political meaning of George Orwell's and Graham Greene's novels were important examples of this practice. CIA involvement was covert, since the target audience was the American public and the ideological perspective being propagated often ran counter to democratic ideals.

Human capital theory was invented as an ideological #weapon in the Cold War. Now it is helping to Uberise work.

فیس بک کے سامنے آپ کا کوئی راز چھپا نہیں.
سماجی رابطے کی اس ویب سائٹ کے دو ارب کے قریب صارفین ہیں اور یہاں آپ کو ہر طرح کا مواد مفت دستیاب ہے جو روزانہ گھنٹوں تک صارفین کو اپنے اندر مشغول رکھتا ہے۔
اور فیس بک مستقبل میں چاہتی ہے کہ لوگوں کے قیام کا دورانیہ مزید طویل ہوجائے یا وہ یہاں سے نکل کر بھی اسی کی ایپس جیسے میسنجر، واٹس ایپ اور انسٹاگرام میں مصروف رہیں۔
مگر کیا آپ کو معلوم ہے فیس بک جتنا وقت صارفین کو اپنی سائٹ پر رکھی ہے، اتنا ہی ڈیٹا وہ ہم میں سے ہر ایک کے بارے میں جمع کرلیتی ہے۔
یہ ڈیٹا اس پلیٹ فارم میں اشتہارات کے لیے استعمال ہوتا ہے اور فیس بک کو ماہانہ اربوں ڈالرز کی آمدنی ہوتی ہے۔
لوگوں کی اشتہارات میں دلچسپی بڑھانے کے لیے فیس بک جو معلومات اکھٹی کرتی ہے انہیں صاف ستھرے چھوٹے ڈبوں کی شکل دے دیتی ہے۔
اور یہ ڈبے کچھ اس طرح کے ہوتے ہیں جو آپ نیچے تصویر میں دیکھ سکتے ہیں۔
فوٹو بشکریہ دی نیکسٹ ویب
فوٹو بشکریہ دی نیکسٹ ویب
اور یہ تو اس معلومات کا بس نکتہ آغاز ہے جو فیس بک آپ کے بارے میں رکتی ہے مگر اتنی معلومات بھی کسی ایسے فرد کے لیے آپ کی شخصیت کا خاکہ بنانے کے لیے کافی ہے جس سے آپ کی کبھی ملاقات نہ ہوئی ہو، جیسے آپ کون ہیں اور کن چیزوں میں دلچسپی رکھتے ہیں، وغیرہ وغیرہ۔
فیس بک کو معلوم ہے کہ آپ کا اسمارٹ فون کونسا ہے یا کونسا کرچکے ہیں، کونسا ڈیسک ٹاپ آپریٹنگ سسٹم اور براﺅزر استعمال کرتے ہیں، سفری عادات کیا ہیں اور سیاسی حوالے سے کیا دلچسپی رکھتے ہیں۔
فیس بک آپ کے بارے میں کچھ چیزوں کا اندازہ ان پیجز سے لگاتی ہے جو آپ لائیک کرتے ہیں، اسی طرح اسٹیٹس اپ ڈیٹس، آپ کے دوست کیا پسند کرتے ہیں، لوکیشن، کیرئیر فوکس اور دیگر اکاﺅنٹس یا اشتہارات سے تعلق وغیرہ سے بھی بہت کچھ جانا جاتا ہے۔
اس طرح فیس بک ہر ایک کے کی شخصیت کے بارے میں کافی جامع تصویر تیار کرلیتی ہے اور یہ تو وہ ڈیٹا ہے جو فیس بک ہمارے سامنے بھی پیش کرتی ہے۔
یہ حیرت انگیز ہونے کے ساتھ خوفزدہ کردینے والا بھی ہے کیونکہ یہ وہ معلومات ہے جو ہم ہنسی خوشی فیس بک کے حوالے کرتے ہیں اور دوبارہ سوچتے بھی نہیں، یعنی ہیکرز سے تو ڈرتے ہیں مگر آن لائن پرائیویسی کی کوئی پروا نہیں۔
اگر آپ بھی جاننا چاہتے ہیں کہ فیس بک آپ کے بارے میں کیا کچھ جانتی ہے تو ایڈ پروفائل کے اس لنک پر کلک کریں، وہاں اپنے بارے میں جاننے کے لیے Your Informatio اور پھر Your Categories میں چلے جائیں۔
وہاں آپ ان ڈبوں میں سے جس کو چاہیں ڈیلیٹ کرسکتے ہیں تاہم ایسا کرنے سے اشتہارات کم نظر نہیں آئیں گے بس یہ ہوگا کہ پھر ہر قسم کے اشتہارات آپ کی پروفائل میں نظر آنے لگیں گے۔
