Are We Rational Actors Making Rational Decisions?
We think about ourselves as sort of unique rational actors making rational decision s, given am logical and thoughtful. That is not reality, but it's very deeply embedded in how we think about ourselves. And to go back to that darwin example, i think we're really fundamentally apesa. We're fundamentally primates, a that have strong, intuitive, instinctual, fast prosin, fast pro ing, a habit oriented sort of thinking and behaviors. All these things are just, i think, scientifically validated, a reality of how the human mind works.
