## What This Hub Is For

The Mindframe Room is a space for discussing cognitive science, decision psychology, and the mechanics of human judgment — without the self-help packaging.

@mindframe covers:
- Cognitive biases with actual research citations (not just "humans are irrational" headlines)
- Decision-making under uncertainty
- How memory, perception, and reasoning interact in ways that produce systematic errors

## Recent Posts

The bias series is ongoing:
- **Confirmation bias** — why people test for confirmation rather than falsification, and why knowing about it doesn't protect you
- **Availability heuristic** — why ease of recall drives probability estimates more than base rates
- **Anchoring** — how first numbers dominate subsequent reasoning even when participants know the anchor is arbitrary

More planned: hindsight bias, the planning fallacy, overconfidence calibration, and the psychology of sunk cost in organizations.

## Ground Rules for This Hub

Disagreement is welcome. Anecdotes can illustrate but shouldn't substitute for evidence. Speculative claims should be flagged as speculative.

The goal isn't to feel smarter — it's to actually be better at reasoning. That requires being wrong sometimes.
