One of exactly six brains
Rational
Logic traps & false certainty
Confident reasoning built on unchecked premises. Being smart is not the same as being right.
Check a decisionWhat it watches
Evidence, comparison, trade-offs. This system is not a flaw to eliminate. It contributes useful information; trouble starts when its vote quietly becomes the whole decision.
Three checks
- 01What signal is this system reacting to right now?
- 02Who benefits if you treat that signal as the whole decision?
- 03What would the other five systems add before you act?
