And yet, losing the toss can still leave you with an inexplicable sting of injustice. Your brain insists that it just wasn't fair, even though you know, statistically, it couldn't have been any more impartial. This contradiction between what we know and what we feel is what psychologists call the "illusion of unfairness." It's the human tendency to feel personally wronged by chance.
My company pays for the employees' health insurance and then the employee can add (and pay for) additional insurance, including for kids. "Kids" insurance costs the same if you have one kid or six kids. When Anna and Ben graduated college and started working, I kept them on my insurance because I was already purchasing the "Kids" insurance for Caroline. Anna switched to her own insurance at 26 and Ben will be 26 soon and do the same. Caroline now has a full-time job with benefits, including insurance. Her insurance is not free, but costs significantly less than "Kids" at my company. I never had a stated plan to insure my children until they were 26-it just worked out that way for my older children and didn't cost me any additional money. But it's clearly a benefit they received courtesy of me that Caroline won't receive.

Creating fair categories of competition in sports is complex, as many factors such as anatomy, psychology, and economics can affect athletes’ performance. The extreme of having each person in their own category results in no competition, while having no categories at all can lead to reckless outcomes.
The alarming reality is that AI-driven learning can perpetuate biases present in data sources, leading to unfair treatment and unequal opportunities for diverse learners.
The structured interview rests on the assumption that the elimination of the interviewer's subjective, individual perspective results in greater objectivity and thus less discrimination.
Our findings reveal a discrepancy between assumed prioritization norms and actual practices within the blockchain community. In particular, miners often deviate from these norms by prioritizing transactions that serve their own interests or friendly miners.
