Thinking Flaws

Home1. Information overload

Notice primed or repeated Bizarre/funny is more noticeable Change is Noticed Drawn exsisting beliefs Notice flaws in others

2. Not enough meaning

Find patterns with little data Jump to conclusions using stereotypes Liked or known things are better Simplification of Probability and Numbers Think we know what others think Current mind state is projected

3. We have to act fast

Feel important and impactful Favor immediate, known things We want to finish things Want to have autonomy and status Simple or complete over complex, ambiguous

4. What to remember

We edit memories Discard specifics for generalizations Reduce events and lists Store memory differently based on the experience

False consensus effect

We think our beliefs, behaviors, personal qualities are the norm.
