Primitive Minds
- Human beings are not logical, we are storytellers most interested in emotional comfort and safety.
- We can convince ourselves and justify anything.
- This is partly because our brains haven’t had a significant upgrade for millions of years.
- On top of that, the human brain takes up 20 percent or more of our energy.
- Shortcuts can lead to accepting probabilities as facts, succumbing to confirmation bias and convincing ourselves that we have the ability to truly multitask.
