I have very wide feet, which significantly limits the kind of shoes I can buy. This is particularly bad, since shoes on men are a major status signal and, to women, an attractiveness signal. Also, I cannot change my foot size without surgery.
My pity party is located at ____?
I've never heard of significant prejudice against people with wide feet, though it's possible that they represent a somewhat neglected market.
I'm trying to better understand the relationship between incentivization and rationality, and it occurred to me that it is a "folk fact" around here that large financial incentives don't make cognitive biases go away.
However, I can't seem to find any papers that actually say this. It's not easy to google for (I have tried) so I wonder if the Less Wrong collective memory knows how to find the papers?
Is there a pattern to which biases go away with incentivization? Do we have at least 5 examples of biases that go away with incentivization and 5 examples that don't go away with incentivization?
As an incentive, I'll paypal $10 to the commenter whose answer is least biased and most useful.
