Subvert the traditional concept of IQ and lead all mankind into the age of rationality
◆ Introduction ◆
High IQ means being able to make correct and good decisions?
wrong!
Studies have shown that people who are considered smart make decisions just as often as the average person, and sometimes:
Mathematicians buy a large number of stocks that continue to fall when there is no good news, and eventually lose all their savings;
Highly educated professionals go to Mexico to see barefoot doctors instead of scientifically tested medical methods;
University history professor joins cult;
A neighbor who is a teacher in high school recruits friends to do MLM...
Most people think that "good at thinking" includes wise judgment and decision-making, but the well-known intelligence test does not evaluate the individual's judgment and decision-making ability, but these skills are very critical to our lives, affecting our planning and evaluation. Evidence, and the way we evaluate risks and probabilities, determine whether we make good decisions.
If you want to live a better life and achieve your goals in life, it is not enough to have high intelligence, you must also have high rationality. If an individual has a rational disorder, the direct and practical consequence is that life is unsatisfactory and the life achievements that should have been missed are missed. This book argues that we can separate rationality from the concept of intelligence, which is essential for humans to act wisely in the real world, and that an individual's "rationality quotient" can be improved through learning.
In this book, Stanovich states:
The concept and important role of rational thinking;
The many types of rational disorders and the information processing mechanism behind them;
Two ways to improve rationality;
The importance of rational thinking skills to individuals and society as a whole.
