we have two modes of processing information to make decisions. The first is automatic. It’s our first reaction, our mind’s formation of instant associations with no effort. It’s intuitive and impressionistic, the result of connections we’ve built though countless past experiences.

The second is slower thought—the part of our brain we use when we do an Algebra problem, where we go through careful, logical steps to arrive at a conclusion. This kind of thinking is a lot of work.

I've found that for me, the first method usually brings about the right decision. Unfortunately, I rarely go with that one and instead, overthink until I get to the wrong decision.

I think those two methods are why we cannot reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

What I have seen is there are people more Intune with doing type 2 work.

People that are not that way, which is the majority, will scream that “YOU HATE ME!” if you deny what their fast brain wants.

I have seen multi million dollar projects fail for such tantrums.
