If you've ever did stocks or crypto, you know about percentage gain and percentage decrease.
If you've been in the psychology space, you've probably came across the negativity bias.
Let's suppose you have $100 Tesla stock (TSLA), and you wake up with a 1,000% increase, which is a 10x of your money.
Now, you have 1,000%.
Now, let's suppose that same stock, after 74 hours, experiences a 66% decrease. You're now at $340. You've lost $660.
Despite the absolute value of the increase and decreases being wildly different, the fact that a 66% decrease has that much weight is very suprising.
According to an article from Forbes, "According to Dr. Barbara Fredrickson, positivity researcher at the University of North Carolina, for every heart-wrenching negative emotional experience you endure, you need to experience at least three heartfelt positive emotional experiences that uplift you." (Robinson, 2020)
It is very difficult to use that sentence above as a proxy to estimate the weight of failos, since each failo has different weights, but I shall now state some very brief, and short conclusions and personal insights about this topic.

- Removing, or reducing your failos is more effective than adding good.
- Some failos are "unredeemable". You'll know if a failo is considered unredeemable if it is a grave crutch in social/dating situations you come across in your own life. The only way to fix "unredeemable" failos are to fix the failo itself.
- You can use fraudmaxing or other temporary methods as a way to gage how much of a failo your failo is. Scientifically measure or examine how people treat you to discover the truth about how you're perceived.
- Examples, change your hair texture, height, eye color, skin color, skin undertones, fashion style, etc. and experiment and measure which ones have the most drastic results (positive and negative).
- Learning what women do, if applicable to men, can also help gage the social cost of a failo or even the potency of a halo. Example: Having blonde hair, and not having type 4 hair seems to be things we can draw from women's behavior.
