Kluge

Book • 2008
Gary Marcus's "Kluge" explores the human mind's design as a collection of workarounds and hacks rather than a perfectly engineered system.

He argues that our cognitive abilities are a patchwork of evolved mechanisms, often inefficient and prone to errors.

The book uses examples from various fields, including psychology, neuroscience, and computer science, to illustrate the kludgy nature of human thought.

Marcus emphasizes the importance of understanding these limitations to improve our decision-making and problem-solving skills.

He suggests that by acknowledging the imperfections of our cognitive architecture, we can develop strategies to mitigate biases and make more rational choices.
