Embrace Embodied Decision Making and Gut Instincts

Embodied decision making or intuition is highlighted as a crucial skill when reliable information is lacking, especially in an era where there is an overemphasis on data. By combining the body's 50 million data points with the brain's processing power, a significant compression rate is achieved. The body not only processes physical information like temperature and balance but also interprets trust, proprioception, and interoception. The reliability of gut instinct is emphasized through embodied cognition, showing that the body plays a crucial role in decision-making alongside the brain, which struggles with abstract concepts like time.
