Why do you keep checking your phone even when you know there's nothing new? Why did that argument with your uncle about politics only make him dig in harder? These aren't random quirks-they're systematic glitches in how your mind processes reality. Our brains evolved not for truth, but for survival, and the shortcuts that kept our ancestors alive now lead us astray in ways both fascinating and frustrating. Understanding these mental blind spots isn't just intellectually interesting-it's essential for navigating a world designed to exploit them.
