Description
People are not always as rational as they would like to think and are subject to a variety of cognitive and social biases. People also have the power to correct for these biases, and to do good and constructive work. How can critical thinking be used constructively? How can people learn from their past mistakes? How can social institutions and policies be set up to ensure that wise decisions are made to create a world that lasts into the extended future?
