“In complex systems, after all, it is very hard to foresee or predict the consequences of presumed causes. So it is not the consequences that we should be afraid of (we might not even foresee them or believe them if we could).

Sidney Dekker, Drift into Failure: From Hunting Broken Components to Understanding Complex Systems

“Because we tend to be nice to other people when they please us and nasty when they do not, we are statistically punished for being nice and rewarded for being nasty.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

“The worse the consequence, the greater the hindsight bias.”
