Normalcy Bias

Today's video from The Texas Boys:

Normalcy Bias Definition:

The normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster and its possible effects, because it causes people to have a bias to believe that things will always function the way things normally function. This may result in situations where people fail to adequately prepare and, on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations.

The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred, it never will occur. It can result in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.

Just four Texas brothers trying to homestead! Sit back and enjoy while we learn and enjoy the simple life together! We Love making videos.

We raise goats, laying hens, meat birds and meat rabbits on our 5 acre homestead. We are planting on contour, using swales to develop a sustainable food forest. While using our goats to clear land and our chickens to fertilize and till the ground, putting our animals to work for us implementing permaculture to maximize our efforts.

We hope you enjoy our videos and learn together with us since we are just getting started.

Thanks for stopping by!
