Ramanujan Redux

I ate a bag of tortilla chips today. A whole family bag of tortilla chips. This was a very bad idea. The product was inevitable–awesome nausea the rest of the night.

Logical fallacies dominated my reasoning in these cases.

–”If no one else eats these, it’ll just be a waste!” Sunk cost fallacy in full action there.

–”Because I’m going on a high protein/low carb diet. I should eat these chips now so I can go on the diet sooner.” I think that’s an affirmative conclusion from a negative premise. More likely it’s just me being a moron.

Then I go and order salty soup with noodles and bread today for lunch. I never get tired of learning the hard way.
