Flawed Thinking
We’ve established that our brains are greedy little monsters that are predisposed to thinking flaws because of their very nature. But sometimes, we just goof up on thinking and think stupidly. We miss connections, we misuse logic, and we simply see the world incorrectly at times. It’s all part of the human experience, unfortunately. We are far too influenced by first impressions, mostly by the psychological phenomenon of anchoring. This creates a conflict between our subconscious and conscious and makes us unable to move from the anchor. Visit our sponsor Let's Get Checked at https://TryLGC.com/NMG and get 20% off your order!
