"Psychologists call this illusory correlation. Our brains naturally look for patterns, even when events are completely unrelated."

"Our brains constantly respond to reminders โ€” psychologists call them cues."

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova explains: a symbol doesn't force behaviour, but it can trigger related thoughts and memories. The more often we encounter these reminders, the easier those thoughts come back. This is one reason why branding can become so powerful over time.

"When people feel emotionally attached to a place, they often return surprisingly quickly after a frightening event."

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova explains: the relief that "nothing happened" can replace fear almost immediately โ€” and that's enough for people to continue exactly where they left off.

"We often hear that nobody pays attention anymore. But our brains are surprisingly good at noticing things that don't belong."

As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova puts it: people spotted that hidden logo almost immediately. So maybe attention isn't disappearing โ€” maybe we're just becoming much more selective about where we spend it.

And now, a story the lottery commercials usually skip.

A man who won one of America's biggest Powerball jackpots later said he wished he had never won. As Dr. Desislava Bezinska-Sheinkova puts it: wellโ€ฆ that escalated quickly. Looking back at everything that happened after the jackpot, the oversized cheque was the least interesting part.

That changing the name doesn't necessarily change the behaviour. That organised crime still believes there are easier ways to make money than honest work. That Bulgaria prefers to tax gambling before limiting it. That following Drake's betting slips has somehow become an investment strategy.
