While these shortcuts can be lifesavers, they can also lead us astray if we’re not careful.
David and Zach don’t just skim the surface. They tackle the tough questions about moral judgment and decision-making, from personal choices to sweeping policies. How do our biases shape our decisions, and more importantly, how can we correct them? If you’ve ever caught yourself making a snap judgment and wondered why, this episode offers some eye-opening answers. But it’s not all theory.
David shares practical strategies for recognizing and correcting these biases, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to make better, more informed decisions. They also touch on addiction and the mental shortcuts that can affect recovery and treatment choices. It’s a conversation packed with insights that could change the way you think about thinking. So, if you’re curious about the inner workings of your mind and want to arm yourself with tools to make better choices, tune in.
