Answers: Why are humans bad at reasoning?
- human reasoning
- behavioral inertia

What it concludes
- Reason evolved not to help individuals make better decisions, but to help us be social and justify ourselves to others.
- People tend to give weak reasons for their beliefs at first or when their intended audience doesn't need much convincing.
- The future of reason may be the construction of a lotocracy, where decisions are made by people chosen at random rather than elected politicians.
