And thousands and thousands of years ago, Vedas mentioned a Mahavakya( great quote) —
Yatha dristi tatha sristi — As is the Vision , so is the appearance of the world.
And the lines below from the book The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed the World by Michael Lewis explains and conveys the same meaning as Mahavakya from Vedas.
“Stories people told themselves were biased by the availability of the material used to construct them…what people remember about the past, [Kahneman and Tversky] suggested, is likely to warp their judgement of the future.
“We often decide that an outcome is extremely unlikely or impossible, because we are unable to imagine any chain of events that could cause it to occur. The defect, often, is in our imagination”.
