All-or-nothing thinking, also known as dichotomous thinking or black-and-white thinking, is a type of cognitive distortion that involves thinking in extremes and using absolute terms, such as never or ever.
Trading binary options can be an extremely risky proposition. Unlike other types of options contracts, binary options are all-or-nothing propositions. When a binary option expires, it either makes a pre-specified amount of money, or nothing at all, in which case the investor loses his or her entire investment. Trading binary options is made even riskier by fraudulent schemes, many of which originate outside the United States.
Home And Away: All Or Nothing
All-or-nothing thinking is one of the most common cognitive distortions. A cognitive distortion is a faulty thought pattern that makes us more prone to negative thoughts and conclusions. This type of thinking makes us forget to challenge our thought processes and look for evidence to the contrary or alternative solutions.
Zero-sum thinking and all-or-nothing thinking are often used interchangeably, but the terms are a bit different. Both of them are thought patterns that deal in extremes. However, with zero-sum thinking, the fallacy is that in order for someone to get what they want, someone else has to miss out.
The all-or-nothing cognitive distortion may be linked to experiences of trauma, especially in childhood. These traumatic events can impact the way you organize and interpret information from your surroundings.
All-or-nothing thinking patterns can affect interpersonal dynamics, from how you see your relationship to how you view the other person. It can also set unrealistic expectations and stunt opportunities for growth, Dyer says.
There are any number of doctrines that can be elevated to the status of an essential belief in the all-or-nothing approach to faith. For churches that subscribe to such an approach, the set of doctrines that make up the sum total of beliefs one needs to affirm in order to be a Christian is different. But what they all have in common is an all-or-nothing package of beliefs that need to be affirmed in total in order to be a Christian.

I was coaching someone recently where all or nothing thinking came up with respect to helping her child. She had kids who were getting ready to apply for college. She felt like she either needed to do everything for them or do nothing. Like those were her two options that her brain had come up with.
When he resumed running, injury struck when he hurt his ankle; Trippas was running 30-40 miles per week, four or five days a week but was often forced to take weeks off to heal his ankle and remain healthy. This was something he had to deal with until December, when he made the decision to go back home to Australia.
While that only filled a couple of his days in hotel quarantine and he was left with much more free time that he's used to, Trippas was just grateful for the opportunity to return home during such a turbulent time.
Many classic Game Shows offer a Consolation Prize to the losing contestants. However, a more modern take features an All or Nothing approach: either you win the big prize, or you go home empty-handed.
Before the home North London derby in late September, the importance of which was ramped up by Arsenal starting the season so dreadfully, Arteta got the club photographer, Stuart MacFarlane, a 30-year employee and an Arsenal fan, to address the players immediately before kick-off. MacFarlane tells them how much the crowd loves them, just about holding back the tears, and whips the players into a frenzy.
Under Sec. 274(d), for certain expenses, taxpayers are required to be able to provide specific detailed information to substantiate the expenses. As the recent case of Garza, T.C. Memo. 2014-121, demonstrates, this is an all-or-nothing proposition. Without proper substantiation, no deduction is allowed for a Sec. 274(d) expense, even if the court believes that a legitimate expenditure was made.
NASA astronomer Bill Cooke termed the potential meteor shower milestone an "all or nothing event" in a blog post from the agency earlier in May, as astronomers track the debris from the broken-up comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 (also known as SW 3).
Advocate Aurora has allegedly gone to "extraordinary lengths" to limit insurance products that seek to exclude certain Advocate Aurora Health facilities that could save employers money. Instead, Advocate Aurora requires all-or-nothing contracting, meaning if one facility is in-network, all Advocate Aurora facilities must be included in an employer's insurance network.
HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, then California AG, reached a $575 million antitrust settlement in 2019 with Sutter that barred the system from engaging in the all-or-nothing contracting among other conditions.
Capt. Don Stubbings of the Kansas State University Police Department says that not properly protecting your valuables while on spring break, whether you take them with you or leave them at home, can be asking for trouble.
"Before leaving your apartment make sure you secure all your valuables," Stubbings said. "If you're going home for spring break, take things along, like mobile devices, that are easily stolen. Roommates may stay behind during spring break and they could have people at your residence you don't know."
I don't think the partiality works because, like you said, it should at least be permissible to take the double-or-nothing bet. Even if we were to say "we care more about people we know" it wouldn't necssarily mean we should or we have the strongest moral reason to.
Suppose that, on your 18th birthday, God offered you a \u201Cdouble or nothing\u201D gamble on your continued existence: Heads your lifespan doubles; tails you die immediately. (Or on the population of humanity: Heads he makes a copy of Earth in another galaxy; tails he destroys it.) Seems like a bad deal! But why?
(1) It commits us to what Theron Pummer calls \u201Ccomparative insensitivity to (arbitrarily) large differences\u201D\u2014as you approach the value cap for some basic good (or population size), you get the result that adding even astronomically more of the good in question\u2014something that, relative to a zero starting point, would be thought incredibly valuable\u2014suddenly counts for practically nothing at all. And that seems bad!
But if we further think that it isn\u2019t twice as good, impartially\u2014if we wouldn\u2019t wish a stranger to take the bet, for example, or aliens to gamble their own distant planet\u2014then it seems partiality alone cannot fully explain our intuitions (unless perhaps we are to be partial towards all who exist independently of our choice \u2014 which I do think has some appeal). Even if we are partial, it\u2019s usually at least permissible to instead choose the impartially best option. But it doesn\u2019t seem permissible to play double-or-nothing with the universe. So there must be more to it. 2ff7e9595c
