Chunking of sensory input happens at a lower layer in the brain than consciousness. So if you have learned that two stimuli are the same then they might be indistinguishable to you unless you spend thousands of hours deliberately practicing distinguishing them even if there is a detectable difference, and even if you can distinguish stimuli that are just a bit further apart.

I thought it was that no matter who wins that causes him to become sure of his ability.

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.

Bad in what way? The majority of humanity is lactose intolerant and should not drink milk for that reason. And milk contains a bunch of fat and sugar which isn't exactly good for you if you drink extreme amounts. Is that what you are talking about, or is it something new?

Not a conscious technique. When you get to know a person you form some kind of brain structure which allows you to imagine that person when they aren't around, and which makes some behaviors seem more realistic/in character for them than some other behaviors. This structure is your mental model of that person.

It is evidence of (what we now know as) quantum mechanics. MWI is just an interpretation of QM, so there isn't really evidence for MWI that isn't also evidence for the other interpretations according to the people who favor them.

Very rapid increase/acceleration. Originally it's the sound you hear if you pour gasoline on the ground and set fire to it.
