Nine is Flat
The Remarkable Shallowness of the Improvising Brain
Book •
In "The Mind is Flat," Nick Chater challenges the common assumption that our minds are complex and intricate.
He argues that our brains are remarkably shallow, relying on improvisation and simple heuristics rather than deep processing.
This book explores how our minds create the illusion of depth and complexity, examining the cognitive mechanisms behind our decision-making and problem-solving.
Chater uses various examples to illustrate how our minds work, highlighting the efficiency and adaptability of our cognitive processes.
The book offers a fresh perspective on the nature of human intelligence, suggesting that our mental processes are more efficient and less complex than previously thought.
This challenges traditional views of cognition and offers a new understanding of how our minds function.
