When Smart People Make Catastrophic Mistakes
Why do brilliant people sometimes make terrible decisions? Why do entire societies repeat devastating patterns despite centuries of hard-won wisdom? The answer is both simple and unsettling: our thinking is fundamentally flawed, yet we remain blind to its defects. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than truth and tribal thinking dominates public discourse, this blindness has become dangerous. We face accelerating technological change, mounting environmental threats, and increasingly complex global challenges-yet most of us navigate these waters with thinking skills designed for a simpler world. The gap between the complexity we face and our ability to reason through it grows wider each day. What we need isn't more information-we're drowning in that already-but better thinking. The quality of our lives, our relationships, our careers, and even our survival depends directly on the quality of our thinking. Here's a startling fact: when surveyed, over 90% of professionals rate themselves as "above average" thinkers-a statistical impossibility that reveals our profound self-deception. Most of us dramatically overestimate our reasoning abilities. This overconfidence creates a dangerous blind spot because we cannot improve what we don't recognize needs improvement.
