NISHIO Hirokazu[English][日本語]

Unsubstantiated Confidence.

  • Some people use the term "unfounded confidence (in oneself)" in a positive or negative sense
  • Negative people see the "lack of evidence" as a problem.
  • But what is this "basis"?
  • How do situations arise that allow us to have confidence based on evidence?
    • success story is a basis for confidence.
    • But just because it worked last time doesn't mean it will work this time.
    • Not enough to be able to logically base it on.
  • Confidence in repeated successes.
  • Inherently unable to have "well-founded confidence" in a subject that is not repeated
  • You can't have "grounded confidence" when trying something new.
  • In this situation, the latter is preferable to those who cannot act because of lack of confidence and those who do
  • If this is the case, then "unfounded confidence" would be beneficial.
  • This is the way people think about positivity
