Foundations of Thought: Systems and Biases

Distinguish between fast, automatic thinking (System 1) and slow, deliberate thinking (System 2).

Recognize situations where automatic thinking leads to errors that deliberate thinking could avoid.

Identify examples of confirmation bias, anchoring bias, and the availability heuristic in decision-making scenarios.

Detect the influence of cognitive biases in your own thinking patterns through guided self-reflection.

Apply the 'pre-mortem' technique to anticipate and mitigate potential failures in a plan before it starts.
