Document Summary
Humans cannot rely solely on intuition and common sense. Intuition is an effortless, immediate, automatic feeling or thought, as contrasted with explicit, conscious reasoning. Tendency to perceive patterns in random events. Tendency to believe, after learning an outcome, that we could have predicted it. People make mistakes and after suffering a consequence, they realize they knew what that action would have cost them. People tend to think they know more than they do. This occurs in academic and social behaviors. Different personalities can contribute to the different response. People perceive patterns to make sense of their world. Even in random, unrelated data people often find order, because random sequences often do not look random. People trust their intuition more than they should because intuitive thinking is flawed. A passion to explore and understand without misleading or being misled. Ideas can be improved and new ideas can form. Does it work? or why is that the case? .
