THE SOURCE OF BIAS
There are biases in our thinking that can lead to big mistakes in our decision making, including expensive mistakes with our money and investments, poor choices at work, and huge misunderstandings between people.
In the past I’ve written about Daniel Kahneman’s description of fast and slow thinking as a way of understanding and minimizing the effects of these biases. Today I want to talk about why we have these biases in the first place.
Is it because we’re flawed? Is there something wrong with us? Are we just a bunch of numbskulls that don’t know how to use our brains?
No, that’s not it. There’s nothing wrong with us. Our biases are part of an effective and healthy brain, and normal human functioning.
It’s more accurate to say that our lives involve challenges that can sometimes overwhelm what we’re capable of. And yet we still function exceptionally well, most of the time.
