Okay. I have no clue what that means. Starting timer no. Okay. So the fundamental attribution error is basically this concept that we weigh over attribute, someone's personality tier the role of their decision making and we way under attribute the circumstances that they find themselves in. So if, like, someone trips over a pothole in front of you, we're much more likely to say they're clumsy than to consider the role that the pothole had to play in that scenario. Despite the fact that study after study, psychologists prove that our situations that we find ourselves in is the biggest predictor of how we're gonna act. So I think realizing that we make this fundamental attribution error quite often in our daily lives, it does a couple of things. A, it allows us to have more empathy for others. When we attribute their actions no to who they are, but to the situations they find themselves in, we can be kinder with each other. I also think it allows us to be kinder with ourselves. We are much more likely to reach our potential when we realize that not every error is completely our fault.
