I have short-listed 3 locations but unsure where to go. Either Namibia, Mumbai in India or Shanghai in China. I do not know which is better or the different advantages.


Answer
My pick would be Namibia but it's really about what you like.

You can go sandboarding in Namibia, see some of the largest sand dunes in the world,beautiful landscapes, go on a wildlife safari, stars are amazing at night - you can see the milky way there brighter than most places on earth. I recommend going on a camping tour if you go to Namibia - with cardboard box or wild dogs. The campsites there are very clean (at least when I went two years ago) and at some camp sites, you'll feel like you're the only people in the whole world . I recommend doing a safari at a private reserve in Kruger National Park as well since you have to have a flight stop in South Africa anyway. No nightlife really in Namibia. You mostly go to sleep early and wake up early. South africa has more to offer too if you had time to spend more time there in addition to Namibia (though I liked Namibia more than SA, I'm glad I saw both).

Shanghai is the total opposite of Namibia. If you want to experience a very big city with great chinese food - Shanghai is great.

I've never been to Mumbai so can't say much about it. Is India very safe?

You really should get some travel books on each area.

Why does my friend believe in this crap?







Ok, let me list what he believes is going to happen this year.
1) He believes New World Order is going to happen.
2) He believes in Illuminati.
3) Martial law is going to come soon.
4) People will find out that weed cures cancer (wtf.)
5) FEMA camps
He gets his information from Info Wars, Before Its News, and Prison Planet. I don`t believe in this because I have heard that Alex Jones is a nut job and Before Its News is a hoax site.
What do yall think of this??



Answer
-The DunningâKruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.[1]
Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others" (p. 1127).[2]-

-Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses.[Note 1][1] People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. For example, in reading about gun control, people usually prefer sources that affirm their existing attitudes. They also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).-
