I observe this kind of thinking especially in politics when someone brings up that it's fine to take a few dollars from a lot of people if it helps the city a little. I think the reason we see things like this is that we can better imagine the value of one thing with awesome qualities than million things of a small quality because we are more used to compare the quality, not the amount, in our daily lives.I know it might sound crazy but it's a very specific bias when one things about it. Is there a name for a similar cognitive bias/fallacy?
Name of the bias towards not seeing small harm of many as important?
