Some Of The Brains Default Positions - IV) Makes Quick Decisions

"...we are wired to detect patterns and to respond to opportunities and threats without hesitation..."
Nate Silver, 2012

This means we are good at

- simplifications

- generalisations

- approximations.

However, we are poor at

- looking at probabilities

- handling risk and uncertainty, ie unknowns

- questioning our assumptions and beliefs

You favour causal explanations even when they are not true or factual..
