“What was it that Frank Sinatra sang? ‘Oh, my heart is beating wildly/And it’s all because you’re here/When I’m not near the girl I love/I love the girl I’m near.’ A perfect example of the availability bias.”

“Admittedly, in the short term the preponderance of stars can endanger your status, but in the long run, you can only profit from their contributions. Others will overtake you at some stage anyway.

“Most people tend to extrapolate their preferences on to others. If they love the 1960s, they will automatically assume that the majority of their peers do, too. The same goes for 1980s aficionados. We frequently overestimate unanimity with others, believing that everyone else thinks and feels exactly like we do. This fallacy is called the false-consensus effect.”
