Survivor bias is the lure of solely contemplating the profitable entries when eager about danger. For instance, in the event you have a look at the efficiency of mutual funds after ten years, most of them appear to do fairly effectively. However that’s partly as a result of those that did actually poorly didn’t make it to 10 years.
We’re fortunate sufficient to dwell on a planet that hasn’t been destroyed by an asteroid. However that doesn’t imply that different planets haven’t had their life types extinguished–we’re merely unaware of them.
Previous efficiency isn’t any assure of the long run. Sorry.
We must always plan accordingly.
