"In short, **we often decide intuitively and justify our choices later.** Many decisions (career, life partner, investments) take place subconsciously. A fraction of a second later, we construct a reason so that we feel we made a conscious choice. Alas, we do not behave like scientists, who are purely interested in objective facts. Instead, we think like lawyers, crafting the best possible justification for a predetermined conclusion." -- --- **Tags** — [[quotes]], [[type-one-thinking]], [[confirmation-bias]], **Source** — [[202308101525 — B — The Art of Thinking Clearly]]
