BIOM 3210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Straw Man, Outline Of Object Recognition
Document Summary
Rebuttal is violated: you have actually rebutted in misrepresentation. Not with the rest of mankind: ex: i believe in ghosts, and you can"t prove me wrong, and if you can"t than i am right. In life we are usually guided by impressions & feeling rather than the careful consideration. Simply because people don"t know where they gut feeling came from. Subconscious judgement and decision are heavily influenced by feelings of liking an disliking. Because our subconscious mind substitutes difficult questions (is this a good investment) with easy ones (do i like this?) We overestimate how much we understand and underestimate the role of chance in our lives (pp 13) Party due to hindsight, which creates a false certainly that many random events from the past were completely predictable. Ignorance produces overconfidence as we acquire knowledge, we recognize how much we do not now. System 1: operates automatically; effortlessly; non conscious aware of its activity (pp20)
